at dusk we walked out on the pueblo past children rolling in snow dogs sleeping in doorways tiny houses white washed church to the very edge of the pueblo where the sky fell in soft flakes there we were overcome with peace stillness joy it wasn’t about the snow that came before Easter sunrise the chocolate dipped strawberries we fed each other at lunch it wasn’t about sliver rings tiny bear totems wrapped in horsehair packets it wasn’t about the pueblo at all it was about complicated middle-aged hearts promising to make old bones [This message has been edited by The Lady (02-03-2006 12:40 AM).] |

Alot of people find that once you've been in a relationship in middle age and your passing over to the old age there no point in disappearing on each other you just kinda remain together |

Promises...how easy are they made?..and just as easily broken?...but the setting for the promises was very well written..and i enjoyed the sentiments behind the poem..thank you.. Goldenrose. Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba. |

RedStoneEB, as Gibran said, “Let there be spaces in your togetherness.” That needs to apply to all relationships whether young or old. Disappearing into each other NEVER works. Ahhh... Goldenrose. You’re a realist and yes, promises are so easily broken aren’t they? Caught me. LOL Thank you Susan, Martie, Lee and Page. |

Beautiful poem! I think Redstone meant leaving each other, not disappearing into each other. - Owl |
