beth fwoah dream
grey stone sky, ghost clouds crying to the wind,
remembering the distant wave.
the moon was the whitening mists of time,
was the quiver of a musical note,
her broad branches silver seas,
her caverns quiet visions of light.
i stride the shores of oblivion where
dark ages hide, where the ocean falls,
i capture infinite moons in my
mouth, capture something bright,
something of you that i bless,
something of you that grows out
of the dark, glimmering like a night frost,
midnight stars dipped in a clear lake
and as the surface gleams and reflects,
how the water ripples in little blue tides.

EVEN NOW, NOW, VERY NOW...

here your laughter
fastened to the air
with a little twistof memory

Time
spell stopped
as it were

your laughter
pinned to this
particular place

this
little scrap of sky
and field

that to an unobservant  eye
would mean nothing
...nothing at all

but see,your laughter
unfurls its flag of self
snapping in the stiff wind

of what's
lost is
lost

this
simple second
alive for ever

I pick it as
I would a flower
untouched

by either
time or
death

*

The title is from Othello...


“Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist.”

children make the world ground keep the world alive
with happiness and joy they help the world survive
lots of smiling faces everyday we see
makes the world a happy place way its meant to be

bringing back the memories of all the things you did
when you were just like them in your days as a kid
happines you shared with friends and family
now when you see the children you see your memory

my cat she is old now turning seventeen
and for all these years my best friend she has been
only 6 week old when she came to me
a very loving cat as gentle as can be

climbs upon my knee.  then  begins to purr
then falls fast asleep as i stroke her fur
i remember  her as a kitten in her younger day
with a ball of wool she just love to play

try to catch the flies on the window sill
always very active never ever still
i will be lost without her theres only her and me
my best in the world she will always

Words there are not
to express how I feel

Hearing your words
of your sad ordeal

My heart reaches out
to shoulder your pain

Hoping this song
has a happy refrain

My angels are yours
to carry you through

Til happiness blooms
like a flower anew
Searching for words for a friend facing the death of her sister
