Change

Saturday, January 17, 2009

Old friends meet.
Eternity looses its iron grip.
Youth returned in a knowing glance,
"You had to be there...."
And so you were.

Laughter sweet,
A mem'ry shared, increases.
Soul-mates unbreached by happenstance.
"I wish you were there!"
And yet you were.

Time is fleet.
All -- even love -- are conquered.
Here and now, we've only this chance.
"Why are you not here?"
At least you were.

File it under doggerel.

I get the occasional urge to compose a poem, and sometimes, when I do, I post.

Well anyway, you might find this interesting. I literally developed a slight headache reading this.

I've been using this software since v3.1.

Also, note who filed the complaint.
