Beautifully written Smoky, covering a sad illness that no medicine has a cure for. Thank You
Awe Smoky you were peeking. Seriously though for me this hits home. Great poem

You have done your duty well to point out the stillness in the statue' s surrender....albeit not by his choice. I will save this to my favorites...and hope this shall never be my fate. PEACE
My problem is that I remember too much and it tries to own me..would that some memories would fade, in time.. great descriptions, you are a master craftsman with your words..measure twice, cut once in letters ;)
