'pages In Time'

In recollections- of my life's journey, thus far the tattered pages flutter in my mind, snapshots . . . black and white and color, drift- faces, glimpses of places. And I stand trembling- as wind takes my tangled hair I walk a green tree lined path the birds are singing . . . I open a rusty, gate- holding, a dew wet red rose. And I see your name- like wings pages are floating I want to run from this place the weeping so loud . . . it is ripping out my, heart- turn, this page for I must leave. ________________________ July 19, 2016 Poerty/Verse/'Pages in Time' Copyright Protected, ID 16-1225-622-0 All Rights Reserved.

Constance, I was at a memorial just today. The only counterweight to the gravitational pull downward when we lose someone is the sight of those we love and who love us, lifting us back up. Powerful write, congrats on your win ~ John

John, thanks for the compliment on my poem and the congrats, appreciate, yes, at funerals we see again beloved relatives we have not seen perhaps in years, we reconnect, and they surround us with their love _Constance

Kim, yes it was an emotional poem to write, I have been to so many funerals of those beloved to me, and friends that it is unbearable now, even going to visit the cemetery of my family makes me sad for days , thanks for visiting my poem _Constance
