Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it on to future generations.

~George Bernard Shaw

Good Morning all, I am off to Albany for the day, see ya's tonight!

[JustAmy]

For still memory comes unbidden,
Strikes at the odd time, flowing
All sudden with force-fresh feeling,
As different from knowing as the ice
From snow. In mere warmth is still
Cold walking, with head held all
Half-sun and dazed, mere warmth which
Sometimes warms, but in comparison
Is frozen, another state of being,
Survival - another way to be.
And so in autumn, when the leaves
Fall orange-golden, like this
Is my contentment; but how god-like
Glorious that moment of full flaming,
Blossoming from skeleton, on fire
Like sudden dawning, just before
The leaves are fallen. This is
My passion, the moment of full-reckoning,
In memory, while unsatisfied
Dazing, it blossoms still
More briefly, before dropping
Once more on the ground.

How come all the poetry pictures are pictures of dames? Sadly, I don't think women these daze are very romantic. My wife was a true lover, a true friend, and unerasably romantic.


I'm just the ink, she was the author:

If time stood still, could we recapture,
The touch, the blush, the joy, the rapture?
The wisdom of love, the heat and the splendor,
when hearts become one and bodies surrender?


I miss my sweetheart more than air.

I'm in.

Dreams are doorways
a portal in the night
A surreal open window
letting in wisp light
A changing screen
showing faded memory scenes
A sturdy prop for the heart
upon which to lean
Dreams are doorways
holes in dreamscap sky
Fluffed down pillows
upon which to lie...

Hi Amy. I don't have time to search down a poem today, but since I have been scarce around here lately, I thought I had better come by and say hello, before you forget who I am. LOL.

Hope all is well in your world. :-)

I brought some flowers for the Belvedere.
