Will they remember? Distant clouds were close friends once, Playing shadow games.

distant clouds -----close friends will always remember what they once held---from a distance they always remain best of friends--i have some friends which are like distanr clouds but they re always in my prayers and heart---playing shadow games--sweet friendship games---beautiful,this have to go to my favs,my distant good friend--------------charma

Excellent work on both levels, James -- like the thought of clouds "playing shadow games," but also the remembrance of friends who drift away, much like clouds, but cast lasting shadows on our lives. Love, Carolyn

I remember reading your last poem before I took my 2 weeks break, and thinking then how deeply elevated your thoughts had become ... your poetry is at another level now ... and this confirms it. One love
