In The Passing Of A Shadow
~*Marge Tindal*~

In the quiet of night, in archived bloom
I could swear I saw your shadow passing
Close enough to let me feel
the very poetic breath of you, still real~

In a tender moment of contemplate
I just wanted you to know
That if ever you should have a need
just call, … ask … and it is so~

I may not know the all of things
but one thing I know is true
when you hold a friendship memory
it so very often stays true~

With that in mind, I’ll simply say
next time I feel your shadow passing
I’ll reach out to grasp your hand …
holding on to the you I knew
before you went away~

~Yes, it’s for her … and yes, I do miss her poetic self~
*She also happened to inspire me on more than one occasion*
~Dixie Doodle Gal …God bless and keep you safe~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Oh Marge..I too miss her so.
This was truly a kind gesture of friendship.
After all...this is a circle of friends.

She is missed sadly by almost all of us.

Thank you for putting the thought so finely into verse.

Why does it take such guts to say what so many are thinking? Somehow it does, and I salute you for doing it.

I, too, miss seeing Dixie in the forums. And Doreen. And Dreamevil, and many others.

It's a horrible waste when people let anger and spite shape their future, forgetting that threats and ultimatums can't ever be unmade. Unfortunately, bridges that are so quickly consumed in fires of bitterness can often take years to rebuild. And construction can't even begin until the flames give way to ashes.

ah I miss her too.....I miss me...I and I miss you all.....its rough these days to find time and internet access combined, and I missed the bridge burning, but I do know threads as this are powerful and might bridge the gap if sent with prayer

Marge, this is so like you to reach out and comfort others and to let them know that they are loved and missed.

I knew Dixie's shadows were passing, but I never thought that she'd disappear along with them!

Sending a :hug: to each of you,

Linda

This was in no way intended to be a controversial penning and posting~
God sent me a message to be written from my heart ... I penned it and shared it, not only with the friends here, but most of all with Dixie who is being shown a new direction for her life to take -

'I may not know the all of things
but one thing I know is true
when you hold a friendship memory
it so very often stays true~'

Friendships do not fall away because circumstances change, no matter what the end results are~

Thank you all for the kind messages you left here~
I have emailed them to Dixie~

Ed -

Ron - - one day you're gonna leave a reply on a REALLY GOOD poem of mine,
and I'm gonna fall over backwards~
(LOL ... ran out of *smiley-room* or I'd have put one getting a spanking !)
Do we have one of those, Kit ?

LOL ... I was thinking maybe a softer one ?
Maybe a 'feathered one' ?
(Work on it !)

Life ... gives us moments of great joy, now doesn't it ?

With all the topsy-turvey emotional stuff going on in my REAL life (I do have one folks ... Honest Injun !) ... I needed the relief of your smiles sweet angelic one~

Thanks also to the rest of you~

wow

I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart
especially Marge

This is a beauty Marge. I have it saved on my hard drive and I have it printed out with the beautiful border you created for it...but this thread means so much to me also...so much more than words can express

thanks for reminding

it's just really overwhelming, the warmth
hard to explain
