Subject: RE: A Last Song Circle for Katlaughing
Well, here is a link to a song Kat enjoyed on Paltalk many years ago Now,This includes the able support of "the Getaway audience, which was ,of course absent on Paltalk "The Gladiator" when I put this up on UTube Kat told me very much enjoyed it, I used to often read New songs and poems to her on the phone, This was one of the very last poems I read for her a coupla weeks ago that she liked

Tripped over a memory

This morning I tripped over a memory
And suddenly, pain,
like a heart attack gripped me ,
my chest was stabbed by an icicle,
sharp, cold and deep
What I thought had healed
and was a long way in the past ,
rose up and choked my senses
like smoke and left a taste
of decay in my mouth.
It is not the Pain ,
or the sense of having failed
that grieves,
but the Knowledge Of Loss,
that must be what Milton meant
by Paradise Lost,
not the absence
of Someone
but the Loss of the Promise,
Beyond hope of recovery
and all this,
all these overloaded senses
from the simple
scent of roses, earth and rain
