Dust In Rays Of Sunlight This morning I woke up feeling kind of sad a feeling of lonely, or of something else I had I got myself a cup of coffee and opened up the shade, trying to get the memory of yesterday to fade. I stripped the sheets off the bed, smoked a cigarette began to fill the trash can with things I should forget.  Dust looks neat in rays of sunlight, like a galaxy it made me stop a moment, and I thought of you and me. Somewhere between welling tears and a half-cracked smile I ended up in the chair to think a little longer while. I thought of the scent of your cologne after you have gone, years of doing what we did, even admitting it was wrong. I always wondered why we couldn't say exactly what we meant until right before the foreplay and right after we'd been spent. As I sat calmly, I reached for the brush to put up my hair the sun disappeared leaving me questioning what I'd seen there, why something beautiful but insignificant made me think of you an unexpected memory, fancy that, just hit me from the blue. A little tinge of happiness came in a lesson learned today I suppose there are certain things in life that cannot be thrown away. |

No, nothing can strip one's memories except "Al". And that won't happen for quite a while... and look, you've left a legacy in words, for others, for family, for friends, and possibly, future loves.  |

Its important to realize the importance of happiness...and to learn how to make choices that build on that...James |

It so often happens that insignificant little things bring back meaningful memories. Well said, Dixie! |

That's what makes you beautiful you are able to see hear and feel even smell the scent of life no matter how simple beautiful. Love, Reg |
