When An Ending? |

When An Ending? The leaves gently weep; is it the ending of the rain time the time of loss, the time of losing? Here they bend, the old branches less than the new but all show the weight of the days of rain and the rain of days. When, when the end, when the turning in this tide of seasons, when the ending? Though my heart has no answer, the sky says soon, soon. |

Ed a deep breath of me says how dear this day, this day that waits for filling is too soon gone. |

You carry us through the heaviness of gloom that seems unending to hope that better days are within reach... even if not yet within sight. This is superb, my friend... may soon come quickly... for both weather and spirits. |

Endings only come when one is ready to let go of all things personally theirs... we go through transient endings in life; we quit certain things, problems, sometimes, even individuals... and if we are careful, and plan accordingly, perhaps we ourselves will never know when we ended, not if we continue to live on in hearts and minds, with love, and respect. And perhaps a certain flair. We do not have to be conspicuous to be evident; even our shadows might mount the walls where flowers hide... Oh wait. You just wanted a "oh, yeah, I like this...." Well, Sir, you have it. |
