here. What I want I most fear. Where have the sighs gone? Why do I feel alone even when I have an audience? Spring, yes rain, soon here. Wading in puddles when you're near. Where is the sunshine's warmth? Do you not see the substance beneath the form, frozen by years of morning loss, unable to express the grief . . . at what cost? The haunting winter's chill returns in shadowed sounds of Ides pronounced. |

This is my mood today, but mostly what I am picking up from what's around me on the news, in the air, other people. |

iliana "The haunting winter's chill returns in shadowed sounds of Ides pronounced." Yes, I felt the shadow of this last evening...icefishing on a lake, until dark...The sun was high and warm intil the ides took it beyond the hill..I glanced west and the shaddow had just crept out onto the lake....In a seeming instant I felt something on my shoulder, the sun had dropped quickly, the airs warm breath was taken away and the reality of winter returned, and it did seem to make a sound.. This poem was perfect for me to read this morning..thank you ________ice ><> |

A chillingly beautiful write, Iliana! On this cloudless cold morning, staring out the window at the jagged snow covered peaks nearby, I felt the ides just as I did from your words. |

"Why do I feel alone even when I have an audience?" I think we all have been here at some time or another and you certainly have eloquently expressed that melancholic solitude so very well...nicely done (as always) |

iliana, "Spring, I thought, soon here. What I want I most fear. Where have the sighs gone? Why do I feel alone even when I have an audience?" I understand perfectly. I guess it's like what you told me before (we come into the world alone, and leave it alone---Gee that doesn't sound right: hopefully not leaving it alone literally-I like to think of improving it in a small way-ego trip i suppose!) Tis 11:01, what can I say that makes sense? I know... good night and rest well. Thank you for reflecting me. Cathy |

It is so easy to have the gloom of the world darken our days...how can we not be touched by what is happening....still in our own ways we weave a magical world of words that brings a smile and laughter to our world....May Spring burst forth in the world bringing joy to many hearts....You put the feelings we all feel very well... |
