Pam passed away suddenly at the beginning of July 2007. Pam we all love you and miss you.
All those empty drifting moments. Days that seem to never end. Dreams and wants and wishes. Leaves and wind and idle days.
Sun that brightly blazes. But, somehow chills us to the bone. Words that need to be spoken. Deep desires never shared or shown.
Rain that swirls and cleanses. Memories of bygone days. Dreams that haunt your empty nights. Aches that yearn and weighs us down.
Never saying what you want. Words that burn - Desire and Fear and Want. Words that grow - Love and Care and Hope. Hidden thoughts that swirl and disappear.
. . . a whisper that you never hear. I lean to whisper my hidden thoughts. But, fear swirls and weighs me down. I manage a meager smile. Then swirl and disappear.
Into the Darkness The Twilit approaches and so into the Darkness soon I must go.
Some plans are never completed and some songs are never sung. Life has its share of Pain and Sorrow. Life has its share of Laughter and Joy.
The Churn of Memories almost drowns me as I recall what is my life. I refuse to dwell in Sorrow and I will not succumb to constant Tears.
I face the Fears and Shadows that follow me and I will not despair. I know now that Good is twisted with the Bad. And even Good times must finally end.
But, I know that Pain and Sorrow fade and end as well. As I draw Strength to enter into the Twilit; I know that the Light of morning will always follow the Darkness of night.
Some things will never change, the work, doubts, and strife. But, Good memories and Love really never fade.
So, I walk with a smile and briskly into the approaching Twilit. I take comfort that the Light always follows Darkness and walk with memories of our Love that never fades.
So, into the Twilit and Darkness I will bravely go. Despite, the Pain, Sorrow, Shadows, and Fears; Good memories strengthen me and our love will sustain me . . . as the Twilit approaches and so into the Darkness soon I must go.
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 lightning 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 it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
The night orb rises, glowing full and amber gold And some where lays my love soft asleep. So, full moon rise and take this message:
Together we’ll be again not just in dreams but, as in life . . . . . . . . . . Twinkle stars and sparkle tears.
Light and water entwined. Moonlight soft but never holding. Teardrops soft and wet, trickling fall.
So, if you catch me crying - I’ll wipe the tears and moon glow from my eyes. And blame it on the Moon once more tonight. PS There's a Total Lunar Eclipse of August 28, 2007(the blue underscored phrase is a hyperlink).
