- Go to What lies beneath...
Wonderfully compact, moving swiftly thru several levels of a thought of what lies beneath:
1. beneath the snow flowers to grow
2. beneath the sky thoughts of what was and could have been
3. then the double ententre of last few lines--no new begining while lying that things are ok. These lines are wonderfully placed and crafted--for which is the true lie?... that things are ok, or that there are no new beginnings?
Acollades. John

This is very beautiful! Reminds me of the Hindi songs I loved so much. Excellent lyrics, just like the Ghazals!

Just being is OK but to stay (lie) there is sad.

I have said that! I adored the imagery of what lies beneath and then to wrap with the lie I tell myself is stupendous, simply stupendous. I got your note regarding the moon, you are good. But, since Pluto is a star now, I shine my love brightly upon you from the farthest and brightest point of the Milky Way, but my love is pure light that blesses you throughout the night! And my star shall never burn out! So, when you see or hear Pluto know it is my love that gleams upon your lovely soul. Sammy loves you so!
So sorry I am so late getting to read you, but I have had the most excruciating headache for the last three days, it borders on unfair! Thanks heavens (and Pluto, oh, there it is already!) I have an appointment with my doc this coming week. Sammy

If we look close enough and hard enough sometimes what lies behind an empty feeling is a new era emerging – imagination, fortitude, and change in waiting. My how you bear the softness of your soul in each and every poem you post!

Emptiness afflicts all of us from time to time. It is quite depressing. I switch to music to overcome such ennui.

There is always a new beginning
with each ending is a beginning. As our path that Richard and I walk grows closer to it's end, I often think what will be of me. Me. I can't ever remember when it was just me. What will I do with Me? I will get to know Me and think only of me and what me wants, what me will do and me will do what me wants when me wants to do it. Me will be a new beginning.
