    To my wife...

    Though this pain wracks my body,
    I can still smile and say,
    The love you freely gave to me,
    will help me on my way.

    I take your love with me,
    and leave mine behind.
    What we both shared together,
    can't be measured by time.

    Know you were this sailor's anchor,
    no matter what the storm.
    Know the peace you put in my heart,
    has always kept my soul warm.

    Gotta get a napkin, there seems to be some dust in the air making my eyes itch.

    Time where can I find it? Where can I hold it? Time....
    There it is, let's grasp it, darn it's already gone.
    Time won't you hold still?
    I'm trying to see you.
    Time is change, said time.
    You cant hold me, because I never stay the same.
    Everything is in motion and transformation
    This is time.
    If you want to see me, be still.

    Slumber to the twilight ,
    Sometimes we cry,
    Sometimes we smile ,
    For everyones a part of it,
    The fabric of what makes it,
    All worthwhile..
    That was a wonderful poem, my favorite by far. You expressed it well.

    Well done!

    He always did, she could do it
    But it was easier for him…..


    Now he wanted to ride after her
    Try again to convince her she would
    Get used to the loneliness of life on
    The ranch, he had tried before


    He thought of the work ahead
    The cows to be fed, horses to be
    Tended to, the ranchers day…
    He went out to work with no
    Breakfast, just a cup of coffee


    Not much to start the day but
    She had been his cook…
    She had been so many things
    And she was gone….

    That was beautiful. Thank you Jim

    It's been a while.
    I'm not sure I want to do it again.
    There is always one.
    Some night when there are no lights.
    When I forget what is wrong or right.
    And just feel.
    And let it all go.
    To the wind.
    And I feel free.
    Some nights.
