It’s been a little while since I participated in Crispina’s challenge. Life and all that. Inspiration and all that. However, today, here I am with a little poem and a responding picture of mine.
Have a fabulous Tuesday – what’s left of it!
Crossing Paths
“We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.”
―
How long and how far matter not, in
Time spent sharing our friendship
There is no reason to quantify or qualify
And every reason to cherish it
Be it months or years or decades
Casual, formal, or all in
That old cliché poem
“A reason, a season, a lifetime”
Speaks the truth
The short and the sweet: thank you for our time
The on-going, going strong, let’s keep on keeping on!
The gone too-soon but never to be forgotten?
May we meet again in another realm
Pierre, Patricia, Roxanne, Brenda, Guy, Mick, Richard, Patrick
I’ll be expecting it. Me and all of you
Up in the air
Word count: 121
Hugs to you, my friend.
Lovely. Just lovely.

I feel this one deeply Dale. Wonderful. As we reminisce of those gone, may we be ever hopeful to see them once again. In another realm.

Q,
I do believe in another realm. There is something so peaceful about the idea that there is a somewhere out there, beyond all this.
You’ve taken us on a literary visit to the places unseen by mortal eyes, but felt deep inside when the world is busy taking its toll on our weary bones. There is a sacred honesty in your beautiful words.
Peace and love.

B,
I love the idea and why wouldn’t it exist? And why not believe in it?
You have such a way with words. And I appreciate that you felt it and called it a sacred honesty. It definitely came from deep within.
Peace and love and to meeting in the sky.

I agree. I just don’t get those peeps who believe there is nothing at all. Welp, I DO get them but I simply do not agree with them.
It sure did. You nail these challenges every time, but when the theme comes from something personal, you really shine.
Reminds me of the Norman Greenbaum song! 😉

It’s not the worst song to get stuck inside your head. And it has the kind of beat that evokes more songs, so there’s that.
