"Forget-me-not are the best parting words said in silence amidst sunset's climbing shadows," ... by The Poet. My Forget-me-nots my pretties soon it will be my time to part this simple life that'll be for not. I'll idle a bit drifting for awhile it'll be our dawn to cherish talk won't be a tempest in a teapot. For the life I must leave behind is not only mine but all of you for my life comes the afterlife. ... I prayed that each of you be planted in Heaven's garden there'll be no need of tending care but merely time for talk. I'll say words seldom heard, REMEMBER, life there will be forever, here is only for dying. Why? It's rooted to thy name. (later that evening) Hi my pretties, my final hour cometh, I say Good Night to you here and Good Morning up there. Forget-Me-Not, a name our World to Echo ...

Blessings, Christuraj, majority sees life as tomorrow and today as yesterday, there is no room for death because they got the answer THEY want ... they didn't die yesterday because they're presently living it--the "it" factor, is life--tomorrow takes a holiday of their minds--'grim', I emphasize agreement ... death is nonexistent in such a mindset.

Haunting, a ghostly word--well spirited enough to have cause my pen--to be disturbed ... albeit, the keyboard's closer. With heart-filled expressions, Crystol. Aloha William
