The dress is finished, I shall be the "lady in red" tomorrow.:)

Time to call it a night. Angels all around.

For some reason this poem is speaking to me tonight. Maybe it's all the talk of the C-Nile virus.;^)

Love to all.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Though wise men at their end know dark is right
Because their words had forked no lightening they
Do not go gentle into that good night

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn too late, they grieved on its way
Do not go gentle into that good night

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes like meteors be gay
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

And you, my father, there on the sad height
Curse, bless me now, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Dylan Thomas

OK, I now proclaim that either FR or my ISP or my computer is doing weird things right now. It couldn't possibly be an attack of that C-Nile stuff ..... no way!

So interesting that you posted that Dylan Thomas poem. I used to teach a bit of poetry in China and that was one of the poems I taught.

It's also interesting because this is something I made and was thinking of posting here, but was afraid it was too somber. But since you posted a poem about death, I guess I can post this.
