Life Bookmarks
CXXX.
You tell a friend you're finally getting to go to New York. Your friend immediately has a special seafood restaurant to tell you you should not miss. It's a special bookmark of his. His wife has her own bookmark: the Guggenheim.
Life bookmarks run the gamut.
Yours may be sunsets. Don't all of us 'collect' favorite sunsets and remember a special favorite which sets off memories and tickles our nostalgia?
So many kinds of life bookmarks!
Music.
Scents.
Mountains.
Gates.
Places.
People.
Clouds and
Mates.
Bridges - ah, yes, bridges, too.
I've known, loved and feared a few.
Both those made of wood or steel
And those which connected people
Known in cyberspace
And those who're 'real'.

It's amazing ~
But ~
No matter what perfume
I dab on
These days ~
I always end up
Smelling like ~
Me!
And it reminds me of ~
You!

I Remember You
Purple shadows
Softly inching
‘Cross the floor;
Somewhere a door ajar,
Enticing exploration
Beyond this easy room
Where no gloom invades,
Nor sorrow pervades
Its sanctity.
But nothing stays the same.
No name tells all there is, will be.
You are gone from here
Along with a sense of quiet certainty.

Would you be an orchard
And I would be a tree?
Shall limbs entwine;
Shall roots so meet
Beneath the Earth
In sweetest jubilee?
It matters not
The fruits which fell,
The blossoms come and gone.
The link that matters
Is the magic spell
That lingers on and on.

Where or When
Beautiful bookmarks
Grace the pages of
The treasure-troves
On the shelves of life.
While sturdy bookends
Help to keep them all
Propped up and ready
To be claimed and fully lived!
