we all have times when it seems that the sun will never shine again...
When the night closes in
and the darkness is deep
past memories become thieves
that rob me of sleep
Times that keep secrets
converge in a swarm
relentlessly stinging
with a venomous scorn
Restlessly seething
the breath in my chest
rising and falling
dark waves on the crest
Surging forth in crescendo
a wailing, mournful cry
suspended in air
just one question ....
WHY?!!
Memories of you and the boys! What fun we had being housewives and moms in that little corner of Wappingers. Remember going to the pool, walking up to the store for Hagan Daz ice cream, rides through the countryside when the trees were covered with fall colors. I was a stranger and you made me a friend. How many years ago was that? Too many to count - we lost touch for a while and then found each other again. You were my lifeline in a rocky time in my life. You listened with your heart and your ears. I always think about those days as something special, and always treasure our friendship. I was amazed that you had a cat and a bunny, both that they got along and that they both used litter boxes. Funny thing to remember, that. I love your writing and your music. Sept. 22 was a sad day here, as my Siamese cat passed away, she would have been 17 on Oct. 6th. Jay brought her to me from Clearwater when he came up for Christmas that year. She was so tiny and cute. It is now the 13th and Cookie is just beginning to eat again, I think he really misses her. It is a lovely rainy day today, no humidity and I have the windows open. It is so nice to smell the fresh air after having the A/C on so long. I am looking forward to Jay and Leigh Anne's baby Kennedy Grace, due in January. It will be so nice to have a baby in the family again. They are so happy!. Have a wonderful day, we'll talk again soon. Deb
