There can be no society without poetry, but society can never be realized as poetry, it is never poetic. Sometimes the two terms seek to break apart. They cannot.

Memories pierce my heart and draw tears. Saying goodbye.. only brings another chapter to its close while another begins. The exposition: it is a beautiful truth when I can carry you along through the passage of life in my mind.. so that one day, as I sit on my summit, I can thank you once more for the laughs, the love, and all the smiles. Worries are no more; sleep now and rest in peace. The white dove has been released.

My beloved Grandmother, the chance to say goodbye for the last time may have passed, but I am awaiting my opportunity to say hello, once more.

Austin, she is with you and me at all times, you missed nothing ~ just tell her how you feel. Her understanding is much greater now, and you have another angel close by. I love you.

Please continue to use your God given talents; God will reward you . On a personal note, thank you for the opportunity to think about my mother who passed two years ago, your words made me smile :)
