a friend in fair weather

wisdom
is all that i see in this expression Ely

some souls
i say not so fortunate

sad about the parting
dear friend

Yes, indeed...
I had thought
that I had found
a kindred spirit
but as it turns out,
I was mistaken
it was nothing that profound... live and learn... Ely

learn part
is for all involved
...for some
it is with regret
that they lost and let go what was
a true treasure
and for others
as your kind and wise self...well you sed it all
and shared with us same time
no delay in sharing of wisdom

helps many to steady before the fall
though not all
:-)

Sometimes no amount of protection will suffice to repair the damage done by those in power...
because they can.
The cruelest reason of all... Ely

Sadly all too oft the case. Heartfelt write my friend.

Thank you, Raider... appreciate the visit and the commentary too... It's nice to hear what others think... as that compels me to spill more ink
upon the surface of the page... to see what new thoughts i can engage... Ely

PS... and many thank for adding to your reading list...

"One cannot expect to
garner respect if one will not deal
with that which is real...
or at least be willing
to discuss
the reason
for all the fuss..."
So true
... the 'space in between'
must be kept clean
by both parties to a friendship
otherwise a blip
soon turns it
lean and mean.

Another one of those obvious truths
that we tend to pass without heeding
when will we learn that the end result
left to fester... will only leave us bleeding Ely
