Each walk along the cobblestone of night reminds me how gladness becomes gloom a despondent lesion from a heart, while star-beam winks without a flare. Here trembles a skyscape in the cold as our affection in gradual leaks drains , and near winter too icy lingers, that numb senses against it endure. Although this moment denies to grip one dedication tainted with a stoic end as forward crawls our harrowing rift, where a vanished dream lies , concealed. For with this acceptance of loss, I pause, yet, a graceful beat remains in frost that glows, to triumph over reminisces stinging, and stumble down like passion undone.

Where is Nette Oncloud I wonder. She told me that her dad was a General in the Filipino armory.

Well Nette, I can't mention feeling is one Thought I'm exploring, I was thinking just This morning of the pop song (slip sliding Away) and how there is often an echo found In life as I have experienced.' My thought then Going to whether the writer was old, or just Attuned to deeper happenings? Enjoyed reading your thought provoking offering ' And I see it was Simon & garfunkel.' I would have known straight off as a teenager LOL.))
