I like to think that, like in Borges\' story The Library of Babel, all possible versions of your poem exist until you, like some anti-intellectual barbarian, destroy all the versions but the one that\'s left. Thanks for your thoughtful little poem and for not destroying the last version.

It\'s said that nothing is ever erased from our minds, that it\'s all in there somewhere. When trying to remember, e.g. a name of someone, we may not recall it at once, but maybe hours or even couple of days later - from the depths of our mind. Unless empty-headed (no change there then?! lol).

ANGELA HERE - Good Sunday Uncle ANDY ! Lovely Song to wake up to - even though Im reading it a Day Late. Love this Weather - the Essex Vinyards are Springing into Life. To be able to walk in the Sunshine compensates for the LOCKDOWN ! Just another Month ? Perhaps - Perhaps - Perhaps !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛

These morning walks are the best, walking before it gets too hot. Yesterday we had 30 degrees Celcius!
You said it well Goldie!

Some singers are in tune with our tear ducts. The one i chose today gets to mine every time. It\'s a release of tensions you don\'t know you\'re carrying around with you i suppose. I hope you stay safe in these walks.

Very cool write Andy. Politicians always did have to social distance ~ at least two sword lengths apart.

Hear hear - my first reaction was that our politicians are doing their very best in difficult circumstances and they probably are. But they have so much to answer for when you consider their abject failure in the past to prepare us - unlike Germany no forward thinking has put so many at risk.

Like your poem very much Goldie! Meeting somebody by chance who is going through the same hardship one went through just shows that we are not alone. And helping that other person might lighten our own load maybe just a little bit. Well written!

To be able to meet one who understands through experience is a sure blessing dear Andy -- true friendships are made of sharing good times and bad.

A fine write Gold. On occasions I have met people, usually when I have stopped, resting at a bridge for example.
Erm, I saw someone walking backwards with shopping one day. Bit tricky to have a chat with them! In practice for the \' Annual Walking Backwards Half-Marathon?!\'

Initially, I imagine, there\'s a reassuring comfort in meeting a fellow traveller along life\'s highways of devastating experiences when you can share mutually experienced recent history. But I wonder what feelings one is left with on returning home, reflecting over a cup of coffee.... Reading your words today it\'s is the after effect, the unspoken bit, which tugs at me Goldfinch. There\'s more than one piece of verse to be written therein.

BRIAN HERE ~ Angela is in the Melting Pot ~ but Noblese Oblige ! Great SCETCH from TBT et al ! And in some ways true ! One only has to read between the lines in Dickens to realise *The Good Old Days* were really *The Bad Old Days* in disguise. In 50 years time COVID 19 will be Science Fiction like Quatermass !
Now that I have my Own Garden and Im *Home Alone* *I talk to the Trees ~ and they do listen to me* The WUHAAN *Live Meat Market^ has a lot to answer for ! Good Pome ! *Miss Otis & I regret ~ we*re unable to post today ! *
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛

Brian here ~ Thnaks for sharing Uncle Andy . Loved the melancholy Jazz ~ apt for your melancho;oly Poem. It reminded Me of my Gran. She loved us to visit but there was a sadness in her eyes when she gazed @ gramps empty chair ! Our physical visits cheered us up but now when we phone she sobs & says *I long to be in Heaven with Jack !* Lockdown amplifies loneliness !
Blessings & Peace to Youn & Yours

Life can be so bloody cruel! At a time when your positive nature had you in a new lease of life along comes corona with solitary confinement. Difficult at the best of times for anyone faced with months of this and for you, in your time of loss, all the more unkind.
Missing and grieving are a fact of life when loved ones are taken so allow yourself full flow of emotions when you need to.
You know tomorrow there will be brighter days for whatever purpose and in finality you will again be together.
Wishing you strength of will today.... stay safe
