YESTERDAY\'S GONE ~ My Friend FAY ~ TOMORROW may never be mine ~ Help me TODAY show me the WAY ~ One Step at a TIME ! My past is short (less than 35 years ~ only one third of my life DV !) but if I wallowed in its (few) sucesses ~ and drowned in its many failures ~ TODAY would be PAINFUL and TOMORROW FEARFUL ! BUT ~ your poem encourages me to encapsulate the things ~ which are BEHIND ~ and CARPE DIEM and press on the the high calling of BEING HUMAN ~ alive ~ healthy and intelligent enough to be an \"proactive\" member of MPS. Thanks for caring ~ Your POEM (and visual) has increased my resolve to firmly grasp (and implement) all the Opportunities that I know life will present ~ and toi increase my communications with my CAT TIGGA ! Your in appreciation ~ BRIAN

But as your other poems show - poets love the past! This poem that you wrote is already \"in the past\" - but we won\'t forget it!

This is entrancing, and causes something three steps short of a holy drunkenness. What a great piece. I am curious however of the line \"age-defeat you resist\". What did you intend for that?

Good write Fay.
Erm yes - I spoke to a tree. I said \'Tell me how old you are?\'
It replied: \' Be a tree- hugger and I will tell you!\' A talking tree - known only to me, where it is! heehee.

Good write. The rising of the wings at dawn is a great sight but the murmuration of starlings in the evening is absolutely astounding.

I was once a man of the working sea which flaunted all types of heroic birds. Gannets were my favorite to watch as they speed down from the skies and 100mph and by diving in to the sea at that speed their aerodynamics glided into the waters and spring up with a big fish in their beaks. a truly amazing world of birds and you covered it so well and beautifully. love this write, Fay.

Oh you and your ability to conjure up these wonderful mental pictures with such fine metaphor.
I particularly loved \"tide lifts false breast-heaving liquid ribs\" such an apt description.
You\'re a wonder!

Beautifully expressed, Fay! Every once in a long time there are these special moments where you \'just know\', where you \'are there\'. Moments that are very special, nearly like an epiphany.

With so many moments to look forward to and look back on, we tend to forget to \"live in the moment\" for the greatness that it is. Excellent write Fay.

dusk arising said:
Yes indeed, to experience a truth beyond all we are taught or hope for brings such a knowing.
It resides within and is a strength felt every day.
Yes, we each are a part of it all.
