You were..... NO, you are.... Always will be.. Why? Why, one might ask... My soul, your soul. My life your breath... My heart, your blood flowing through our veins. Now I bleed, I may never stop... I gave you Spring that you might grow.. That the flowers of your life would bud and the bees of your heart spread the honey of your essence. I took to you the Summer breeze flowing hot within... Yet, I cooled you, refreshed you, gave you life’s greatest gift... One that dwells within me, you... Until my breath no longer waves the flame of our candle... I leave with you... The memory of a friendship...... Which never dies... |

If all of a friendship left is but a memory, may yours be trimmed in gold! |

Yet, I cooled you, refreshed you, gave you life’s greatest gift... One that dwells within me, you... This is lovely and soft dear poet. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Hello Barry Your words always touch my heart and this was certainly no exception. For you, my friend : In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Do you notice how the flame never really goes out? Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

This is beautiful! I do think I felt the same as Enchantress as I read this one, yes, I'm hoping all is well with you. Powerful piece! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Magnus, this too reminds me of a song about cloning...About a man that didn't want to be cloned because he'd worry the clone would be cloning with his wife...It's a really funny song... Oh well, if and when you can send me a copy!  |
