A Thursday Poem on Sunday You blessed yourself with magic, a little over a year ago, with a charming book… one, that with some slight push of thumb would wonderfully provide instant words beneath your fingers… so in love were you with all that could be taken and reveled in, dreamscapes to whisk you away to more wondrous moments and mask all that which you might no longer lay mind to, now that your mind was set. Although I remember wondering, why would you spend so much on a toy when you literally lived within a library…the thousands of books you loved, kept, treasured… only now realizing, how silly are we who are yet to grow into time? You had never complained of weight… though you mentioned how you missed the shssh of page to page… yet this little miraculous thump of electrons triumphant was held so lightly, so majestically, magically between your fine hands…and it even followed you all the way through, residing even there, in your hospice room. I’m fairly sure you probably downloaded a bible or more…and used the highlight feature… reflecting only now that just months before, I couldn’t understand the need… until it was gifted to me, today. I’m sure, my ever-watchful friend… that you were whispering in the ear of someone dear, once again. I miss you. And now, I’ll try my eye upon all the tomes that you read, if I might try to read your now elusive mind, once again. © KRJ 12-26-10 |

I don't know who this is about but it's very touching! "I’m sure, my ever-watchful friend… that you were whispering in the ear of someone dear, once again. I miss you. And now, I’ll try my eye upon all the tomes that you read, if I might try to read your now elusive mind, once again." Held me right on the page all the way down through the read. Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call |

You show how much you cared and also how much you really knew your friend. What a wonderful feeling to have had a friend so close in heart. I aslo have had such a friend. Her name was Ello for Eleanora, may they both, your friend and mine, never be forgotten. best to you Karilea, jo |

Sunshine! How wonderful! Louise said she would stay close and that she has. What a wonderful way to share and remember this holiday with her. Lori |

Remembering friends who are no longer with us is an always nice thing to do. To mimic is a form of praise unless |

One of the "goosebumpy" kind! Truly a matter of the heart, so beautifully rendered, dear Karilea. (of course she saw to it in her very special way through heavenly signalling). Love, Margherita  |

..oh,the stories within each of us. What is that saying about "making books thy best friends and thy best friends books"? I like the touches in this poem, the imprints and impressions and the dreams midstream in time that carry on because we still feel them breathing after they pass. Aw, Karilea, you leave me pondering and reaching, both...with this one.  |
