Faces vanished in oblivion
memories buried in silent disgrace
tears fall hesistantly

Can I relate to this one. My mind goes many places. Thanks for your comment on Embracing change. I like to think that wingmakers upon a timeless voyage leave seeds upon the earth long after we have left so the next generation can move forward. It's good to hear you are moved and back on line. Bet you can't wait to get that phone hooked up too! Missed you while you were gone. Happy New Year to you my friend!! May 2010 be your most inspiring year ever!! Love Light Patty

Hi Gert. I'm sorry I haven't shown my face lately. I missed reading & enjoying your work. Too much going on such as: working out of town, going for medical treatment out of town...a different out of town.... and visiting one of my daughter who just had her first child. A really cute boy. (OK I'm biased.) Plus, I have a book in the works. (soupmail) It will probably show down after my hip surgery. I'll be home for a long while and will catch up on commenting. Forgive me, please.

So sad, Gert. I hope that these faces are remembered and not "buried in silent disgrace." Quite a moving poem! Love, Carolyn
