Memories.... When I walked away a shadow split, became two You stay there in my memories... When a tear fell to the dry earth below missing my outstretched hand it fell alone... Whispering “now” Remembering when shudders of “then” Memories... from out of the mist on a star filled night As a whistle sounds, a conductor calls “All Aboard” Alone... Table for one as rails sing a song of goodbye |

Magnus darling heart this is exquisite writing, never do you fail to touch the soul of me. So sore and full of yearning, this is utterly wonderful writing Utterly utterly perfect flow as always the writing is of course utterly divine and the phrasing cannot be bettered. Brilliant, mon cheri tu est formidable n’est pas. You know I love this don’t you? But of course I do. I love it utterly utterly utterly   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Barry, this is soooooo beautiful but so very sad, sweet friend, I can envision the gentleman alone at his table, my heart goes out to all who truly feel this way and I wish for true happiness to come to them all! (sigh) This is sensitively powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

How beautiful the images, though sad. Your artistry with the shadows, and the teardrops took me by the shoulders in a shake. Especially excellent. ThisDiamond |

Sigh, this brings to mind a soldier leaving for war, for some reason. Very artistically woven. Sandra |

Barry I guess sometimes, one IS a lonely number. You did this so well, caught the feeling. |
