"Even Song..."

tilting the nights...

 

"Even Song..."

 

Windmills whisper as their arms turn and turn

 

"I'm here... I await... Return...  Please ...remember me..."

 

...and the days pass - months, years - life echoes

and echoes, notes grow and flow

and the wind carries each note of heart's song...

 

...and inside...

 

I see you - arms stretched wide

turning and turning and laughing all the while

"London Bridge is falling down..."

til falling and the silence gathers tight

and the years carry the echoes near

nearer

nearer still ...til the laughings cease

and the mind returns from dreams soft chill.

such passing memories that comes as it goes in fluid rhythm of heart's beating song.
such wonderful work sir Chris, great!

[Chris]

You're biased...AND appreciated.

[Jaweena...Eileen Quinta..]

I always enjoy reading your work Chris, you are able to capture and articulate those moments or experiences that make us ponder, what would we do without memories?

[Chris]

"What Would We Do Without Memories..."

Would I cry less or more
if I didn't see you when I close my eyes?
Would my thoughts race,
burn,
be full? empty?
Would there be an I without you?
A breath taken? or held?
Would I want to awaken? Sleep?
Ever dream again?
Would I ever KNOW
...home
...tomorrows
...why I smiled
...why I can't.

nizhoni...life is full of many wonderful emotions...even in sorrow, loneliness, yearning, excitement, questioning and in mourning. We feel, we live and contemplate the meaning....sweet dreams my friend.

[Chris]

Robin,

Whenever I find you have been pausing with my thoughts my day becomes "lighter". Thanks man...

[sharonlee]

Passing decades seem to combine
to fill the cob-webbed corners
with long past times...

Echoes of the soul...

Once again, your thoughts feed my soul.
