and such is true of politeness and patience as well - but none of these are worth sacrificing, and I\'m not willing to change

Clara said:

Such truth in these words. For sometimes those who shout the loudest, do indeed feel the weakest. Simply overcompensating. Like you said, there\'s strength in silence and quiet resilience. Great piece of work Goldfinch60.

There are reasons for both yet the quiet are often the strongest inside. A fine verse to ponder on for the weekend and thank you dear Andy.

Strength and steadfastness needs no noise and bluster. In the face of condemnation the truth is still the truth.

Great choice of music to associate with the sun arising.

Darker days still have a light to show us and lead us.

A fine write Gold. We\'ve fiddled about with BST. The Autumnal Equinox later this month should give us 12 hours light, and 12 hours dark. Though we shall get 13 hours light and 11 hours dark. Something like that anyway!
A 25 hour day in October - end of BST. Ready for 1066 yet?

State of Death.
Suresh said:

We only exist as perceived by others, in real time when alive and in memories afterwards.
Both life and afterlife are continuation in the sequence of existence, separated by pauses, we call death.

State of Death.
Michael Edwards said:

When I had my near death experience late last year I felt as if I was floating on clouds without any cares. When I was resuscitated I recalled the experience as a being something of extreme peace and ever since the idea of death doesn\'t phase me one bit.

State of Death.
Clara said:

This is a wonderful perspective to take on death. I like the idea of that... Death is the memory of you. Living on in people\'s minds. Rather comforting.

Hi Goldfinch60,

A great write.

The secret to life and longevity is don\'t think age live your life.

My dad is 81 and he thinks he\'s at the prime of his life well he thinks he\'s 21 at times.

Keep writing FineB

State of Death.

I fear Star Wars far more than I fear my own death...

State of Death.
dusk arising said:

Death brings forth a sadness in those who new the newly passed with thoughts of both the suffering and the loving kindness which once occupied the shell before them.
In reality, the memory of one\'s life and living is within the living persons ability to generate worthy thought.

State of Death.
orchidee said:

I would hate death to be meaning \'not really dead\', or to be some sort of suspended animation, especially in view of my organ donation poem.

State of Death.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Yes, happy memories are left .Though I don\'t know if I agree with it all. I mean, we all do physically die at some point - if it\'s a release from illness; or tragic accident; or natural old age; or whatever cause.

This is what friends are for and you for sure brought that lady comfort just by your listening. Thanks for sharing those few needed moments dear Andy.

Clara said:

Goldfinch60,

This poem speaks to me in two ways. First, that even behind our most enthusiastic happy friends, we all have worries and fears. That it\'s best to always look beyond the surface. Even the most mundane of activities, such as drinking coffee, can worries rise to the surface.

Second, that such life and exuberance cannot be outdone by death itself.

Lovely words as always.

Andy,

I totally agree with d a and Michael!
‘ Loving is caring’ and
‘Friendship is worth its weight in gold’!

It’s such a blessing to have a friend like you!
A beautiful write accompanied by an exquisite choice of music which I thoroughly enjoyed listening to!
Thank you for sharing!

My love to Joyce and to you!

In later years friendship is worth its weight in gold - and that\'s all I would ask of any friendship should I lose my dear wife - no one will ever replace her. This is a touching write Andy.
