From Where

How are we to know
who will come and go
From where have we come
and where have we been
How much did we grow
From where did we begin

Do you know the answers
Do you think you have a clue
When this body lays to rest
and your spirit finds one new
Will you remember all the lessons
and the teachings you've been through

So, come the time you look at me
and think it's de ja vu
Perhaps your looking in my eyes
and really seeing you..

(big hugggssssss) This is so beautiful but felt kind of sad to me, sweet friend, this felt to me like a poem where someone loved another so much but the other didn't love in return and a lovelorn expression was felt seeing oneself in the others reflection! (sigh) This is beautifully heartfelt, sweet firend, your words are always a delight to read, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dear Hearts, Sea, Enchantress, Earth Angel, Noah, Madame C., Garysgirl and Bill.

Thank you for connecting. Your comments to me are pilars of support, you have no idea.
I am living on your poems and at the moment suriving from your connected wisdom. I don't know if you look back at the responses given to your replies but, if you do and read this, please know that you make a difference and I am grateful.

Much love,

SG

P.S. Bill, you have looked into my eyes and alas, you have touched me for the mirror speaks to itself.

Very cool write, SG.  So, would that be two of me or two of you?

Do you know the answers
Do you think you have a clue

So, come the time you look at me
and think it's de ja vu

My! My! My!
The grace of your prose leaves me totally speechless!

Rad,

After reading your critique of "The Edge" and "Peace". I'm not sure if you are being (facious - spelling?) serious or not. Yes, I admit I'm a little insecure after having seen your wonderful suggestions to my amateur poetry, forgive me for asking, as I admire you and what you say does have impact on me.

Respectfully,
SG
