I Was..A Long Time Ago

Have you ever been alone and looked closely around at your surroundings and wondered why am I here for...

I Was...A Long Time Ago


 


The globe sits on his desk


Reminder of the world he never traveled


His pocket watch forgot how to keep time


A long time ago…


 


His books, his letters, his journals


Captured testimony to the life he craved


And cared so much about


A long time ago…


 


Pictures and certificates by the score


Adorn a wall in recognition


That only he remembers why


A long time ago


 


The gold ring on his finger


Reminder grim that he was not alone


His silent watch won’t tick again like it did


A long time ago…


 


Curtains are closed the air is musty


His skin a pale shade of white


He lays restful sleep like he did


A long time ago…

Well dear cuz another great write and sad at the same time. To end our days alone is so sad indeed. To remember lost love and accomplishments with having nothing to show except papers on a wall.
Thank you dear cuz.

love you

As long as I breathe and wake each morning there's always a chance for more of life. I perhaps can't do what I did before, yet I can do what ever I truly want to do. Just deciding is hard. Good write. Lady J

What are we here for? You give a picture of someone who is well read, well educated, well travelled and well married.....and now he's dead. What did he gain by it all? He rests now. Lets hope he led a good life. A deep poem. Victor

Ah Felix this will be us tomorrow maybe but not today, for you have so much love surrounding you and your time is so precious. One day we will all look back at time and not know when it really stopped but for today it keeps right on ticking with much life. I loved this and where it leads.

When the pocket watch is still stuck in memory's time zone and regrets cloud the crystal of the watch, life is not quite as pleasant as it was "supposed" to be. An exquisite poignant poem here, Fee. Lydi**

Moving write Fee~
Somedays WILL be like this, as we gaze upon all of what we.ve been, old memories of past agos and such, then ask, "What does it all mean?"
Yeah...we'll have days like this, Fee~ but one day, we all will know! Stirs my thoughts...
Love and Peace~

You are a distinct beauty,As close to me as two intersected circles can be, and It improves me.You have more to say and more to do...Reflection is good...helps with direction,As much as goals help with focus...Be Well...And remember for as much sorrow as you know,You may know that much joy also...Jen

Fee,
Never think you are alone, never regret where you have come from, never regret lost loves, because you know that with all this comes healing and the pain lifting and you still have yourself. And that person is a very caring, beautiful human being...Please know, I am here and there are many others that share my same sentiment. Smile, breathe and love yourself...
Peace, Love, and Light,
