"My Precious..."

"My Precious..."

I dreamed of little things -
tiny, insignificant, meaningless to any but me... things.
Memories I could hold - softly nuzzle, held gathered in a palm.
I lost them - taken by the years - one-by-one...
and tear-by-tear,
smile-by-smile... I died inside.

Wow Chris
Your making me cry. Stop that.
This was beautiful. I can relate some on the dying on the inside.
Some things may be lost but the memories I believe last forever, a life time.
Sometimes the memories are all we have or will have.
This is so heartfelt, gosh Chris

Jeremy, you haven't lived til you had someone - quite for real - purposely take a memory twist it and turn it and so badly mangle it... and finally take it away. I hope you never do...

[Jeremy Baker]

Very wistful ... it is our memories that no-one can take from us, but to lose them .... I think I would rather die than forget. Lovely and melancholy.

Very moving...wistful remembrances of time ago. What is significant to one may not be to another, but it is our memories and experiences past that make us who we are today. Writing is so invaluable in recording the memories lest we do forget as time marches on. My feeble mind is not what it once was, but I can read back and see my journey laid before me that brought me to where I am now.

Ed, I miss you sometimes... hell, I miss ME sometimes...

[Ed Hart]

you surely do take us with you on these journeys of the heart

the thing about your words is that I never really know if they are what you feel, or what I feel or if they belong to somebody else in the world

knowing what you know is a real gift
