Sad,but,brave and beautifuul poetry Ed!

love,
sis tiger lily

This is the Ed we so enjoy. Your ocean Mother is proud of you.

... we're all here forming a not-so-orderly queue behind you, Brother, so don't think you'll be finding much solitude where you're going!!! We ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL wanna come! And you better be shaping yourself up so we can enjoy your beach-body for a few summers yet, too. Seriously, this is a lovely ode to the place that holds all your hope and all your joy, now and in eternity, Ed. But for us it's just so good to have you back to have a good ol sing-song round the summer camp fires with, so that will have to do for starters. We'll all feel so much better once the sun starts to shine and the lure of the sea blows in on the early morning air, for certain sure... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! XX

DEAR MATCHLESS MATLACK - WELL DONE, SIR!

But tarry ye yet awhile, 'til summer comes. This past Saturday was The Maryland Stae Police's 'Annual Polar Plunge. It was too bitterly cold, and many were stricken with hyper-thermia! My 15-year-old nephew went in, with the fingerless gloves on - fingers turned purple! A fellow worker goes in every year - his fingers did the same, and were still swollen on Monday!

A pool team member was scheduled for 3:00 pm, but AFTER the 'Big Wheel' Ravens Football Stars came out at the 2:00 'dip' - THEY CANCELLED THE REST OF THE DAY!

I SPONSOR, BUT I'D NEVER DO IT - EITHER I'M 'CHICKEN' OR SANE?

TK.

It's going to take time, Ed, it'll be there waiting for you. Just don't rush things, okay? Love you, continuing to pray for you -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Quite powerful, brother. And if Brother Edvard is bringin a crate of beer, I'll be there, too!

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

"My Last And Final Wish"

This is one very touchy subject to me
And yes I agree
I would also like
To die peacefully one with mother ocean
No pain no suffering
My ashes to be scattered upon the sea!!
There must be NOTHING left behind...
No urn…no flowers
No one needs to be reminded I was there once
My very last and final wish
To become ONE with the sea
That is where I want to be

Love Tinka

Nicely done, Ed.

lovely and sincere-good to read your work again!

PEACE BE WITH YOU

WILLIAM

Poetry and life joined in pen, in most humble wish, beautiful, Ed, you might have lost some darn good parts, but you still know how to use all the rest, right? Stick around, that beach is going to be there a while. Blessings! Jasmin Horst

Ed-
This writer knows these INTENSE FEELINGS and honestly craves the same! To not be a part of the ocean is totally insane! I can relate to these stark imageries you sure did create! This is the best way to go when my ending of life starts to show!I have shared my dying request already! To be a part of the Pacific Ocean! Love this Poem Ed! It spoke to my passionate heart to dance. With the waves, fish, rain and sun! Love the picture!!! Be Well Ed! Stay Happy!and Enjoy Your Moments at the Beach, soon enough Summer will arrive!
Blessings Of PEACE and HARMONY, SOULFUL_PurplePassionsSHEEoxxo WRITE ON!

Li'l Brother, can we dream for a moment?...you, me and a crate of ice cold Coors by the summer beach, no talk is necessary or ask for, just the company...hey! I only if we could dream, didn't I?
Be well, maybe I will be there.
