A TOUCH, IN THE WIND It was, a day for reflection Starting, calm and so serene Then, wind from those "Towers" Started blowing, in between. The names of Souls, spoken Seemed, to alter nature’s course And what it seemed to be They came to say, "Goodbye!", in force. Reaching out and touching All, who came to grieve To say, "Get on with your life. Because, we have to leave." "But, we won’t go far. We’ll be in every breeze. And, if you listen, you will hear us Rustling through the leaves." "And, when those leaves have fallen And the winters winds blow Don’t worry, we’ll still be there In every whirling flake of snow." "Then when, the springtime comes And all things grow, anew Please take joy, in knowing We’ll still be there, with you." "They may have stopped, our "being" But, our Spirits, will soar When you feel us in, the blowing winds Where we’ll be, forever more." Del "Abe" Jones |

What a lovely sentiment and a lovely poem Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
