We Lived

Time has no significance without the filling...sort of like, a Crispy-cream without the cream. It is the filling, and not the space... it is what we consume emptiness with, even the dream of substance the juice and the grease before the climb, and downward slide – motion, more important than the direction – failure, less important than have tried... we loved...and then parted... but at least we lived~ bravely hearted!

Life is at times happy, and at times sad, but I love your sense of humor.

Thank you, Victor; I try to find some humor wherever and whenever it is possible. When one gets old, if he or she only retains a sense of humor, the best one has been kept. Of course, I am just 75, so...who knows? :)

Motion less important than direction--failure less important than having tried--- much to gleam from your poem about lessons of life, Joe. Wisdom words!
