So swift, in a voice of sea, and wind clear sounds of Konrad came again through the air and around in breeze and filled my senses full with ease For where the heart lies in the sun where all began and we were one you followed a voice, from within ~ those who are willing, will do so again Heed the tones and turn the stones step where steps went all alone do not fail to mark the trail and seek always your very grail Catch sun’s laughter on the breeze immerse yourself in histories write the calm that quiets like balm and smile the smile so like sweet alms Have no fear in what’s not known for every gypsy has a home ~ seek the eye in every face never allow a memory’s erase And be the teller of the tales seek the breeze and set the sails feel the roll of life and sea and look beyond all mysteries… So in a voice of sea and wind faint sounds of Konrad came again in the air and around in breeze filling my senses with sweet release ‘Twas then I knew a poet’s proud wrapped in ancient mystery’s shroud ~ watcher of time, protecting beliefs a keeper of blue for a barrier’s reef A soul who goes on in a dream a lover for those who would set a scene ~ who draw the lines, to draw one in aye, sounds of Konrad, came again. ~*~ Dedicated to my husband, Carroll, and our friends, Jack & MaryLu, All who made visiting the lands Konrad has walked, a magical reality.

Maybe someday I can sit on the deck of a ship....sailing peacefully across an ocean blue...and write ... envy will get me nothing...... Pretty spiffy...like this! |

And be the teller of the tales seek the breeze and set the sails feel the roll of life and sea and look beyond all mysteries… You are all that, and so much more. Thank you for sharing the beauty and taking us along this incredible journey, Karilea~ |

For where the heart lies in the sun where all began and we were one you followed a voice, from within ~ those who are willing, will do so again Heed the tones and turn the stones step where steps went all alone do not fail to mark the trail and seek always your very grail Catch sun’s laughter on the breeze immerse yourself in histories write the calm that quiets like balm and smile the smile so like sweet alms ========================== from your gifted pen to your muse's inspired ears... I know this voice will be heard from again in time...then in rhyme. |

Way to go Karilea. I especially like that last picture. I'll bet you never knew that when Carroll swims, he looks just like a porpoise. What? OMG - That WAS a porpoise. I'm so ashamed.... |

"For where the heart lies in the sun where all began and we were one you followed a voice, from within ~ those who are willing, will do so again Heed the tones and turn the stones step where steps went all alone do not fail to mark the trail and seek always your very grail" "Last"???? We'll see... What a journey it has been. Thanks Kari, for these and other stories over the year! (Remind me to tell ya about a fortune cookie I opened the other day) |

Karilea, this is just the "last" for this year 2003. Right? I certainly hope that's what you meant. Anyway, I'm keeping this one to look at over and over again. This pictures are wonderful. Tell you husband and friends thank you, too, for me. Hugs to you and yours, Ethel |
