Keep Of Time ~*Marge Tindal*~ A quarter past a heartache half-an-hour beyond the rhyme Clouds-in-cast of shadow upon the sun dial of time~ Hour-glassed sands have drifted to the bottom of my soul Calendar pages flipping backwards to the days of old~ Wristing watch in rested tick no longer sweeps in seconds measured Faced with keep of recorded time in diary pages treasured~ Alarm-of-remember shatters the keep of broken dreams The silence of your heart no longer touching mine screams ..........~ and screams ...~ and screams..~ ~Oh Mike .... another July in cry~ ~*~ David Michael Cowart June 20, 1946 - July 3, 1980 So missed are you, my little brother~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl darling sister of my soul and heart holder elect this is so incredibly moving and such a treasured remember darling heart. Feel the breath of my whispering over your eyes here sending my loving thoughts and warm hugs at this special time. NO ONE writes with more compassion and feeling than you do, no one fills those space of remember better. I love this delicately hued delight which simply overflows with the touch of tears I swear I can feel them wafting gently to me through the air to be blotted on my heart. Wonderful writing darling heart utterly utterly wonderful I love it and I love you xxx Take care darling girl for YOU are exceedingly special    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

ouch, I feel your loss very deeply, and am moved by this poem of agony. I wish the best for you... "The funny thing about grief, is that it just get tempered over time. Sometimes anything can bring it back to the surface and make it raw...." Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

A quarter past a heartache half-an-hour beyond the rhyme Clouds-in-cast of shadow upon the sun dial of time~ Hour-glassed sands have drifted to the bottom of my soul Calendar pages flipping backwards to the days of old~ ======================= These lines are pure gold in both reflection and in showing the ache. Many hugs and prayers going out to you sweet friend of the pen. |

So many times, we can't seem to find words for the grief that swallows us and saps the very air from our lungs... but your heart poured out through your pen in undulations of pain... This is as superb as it is heartbreaking. |

Auntie Margie girl, this brought tears to my eyes, tears of empathy and tears of love, this is written so well. You have a way of tapping into the places of my heart, and you always manage to do so. You roam the places of my heart with ease and I thank you for it, as I said before I now see where I only used to look. Thank you so much for displaying your heart and your deepest soul’s pain, your writing defines you and this defines you as a writer of amazing talent, I can’t wait to see if you can show me how you spin magic from the air. I know its not a talent you can learn but I’d like to witness it Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
