"Death is the deprivation of sensation" -Epicurus I approached Bess O'Leary before the lid was shut. If there was a jealous god I wanted it to see the connection. If there was a fearful god it would know by then my mother's mother. I approached good Bess O'Leary and touched her hand. It was cold and hard. cold and hard. Van Gogh sold one painting, cheap in his life and shot himself Plath lost a father unnecessarily and had an errant spouse. Her cry for attention, too loud grew cold and hard Your silence is the pocketed stone of Virginia Woolf's last swim, the ever silent scream of why in the eyes of the parents of the dead. I need closure. I need the words. Lend me the spade to tamp the dirt o'er the shallow grave of us. Let the dry host of our communion melt at last in my mouth. "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

hey sweets--- I could feel that heavy movement of grief as I read-- "Let the dry host of our communion melt at last in my mouth." Indeed, m'friend. Let it be. I know. |

I need closure I need the words. Sometimes we need to hear the words that get left unspoken so very badly, and yet all to often they are not spoken. Well done Richard. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. {on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (08-06-2002 06:32 AM).] |

Closure will only come when we are ready and accept it... When a relationship ends, we do however need to hear the word 'Goodbye'. Excellent write as always Richard. ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |
