MEMORIAL/ TRIBUTE WEEK FOR OUR MUCH LOVED POET AND MODERATOR MICHAEL JAMES GARLAND. +Michael James Garland

+karen hayward, I was so glad to work with Michael, a wonderful friend, gentleman, brilliant poet, and owner of a gentle, romantic heart and soul..

Memories Of Almost

A memory catches a passing mist.

My eyes reflecting a heavenly tryst.

Singing again our amber composition,

inflecting melancholic past decisions.

To be not where you are,

The bloom dies hard,

I feel alone in a crowd.

The thoughts of others seem but a passing cloud.

I wonder about you in the quiet time,

If happiness found greater in arms not mine...

The memory ever-present,

Of love in intimate moments.

From a joyful, cherished past,

Remaining with me, as if etched onto glass.

In quiet reflection, in reminiscence,

Such longing for you surfaces.

Born of memories, a loving recollection,

Leaving me forever wondering of-

The almost of us…

Michael Garland and Chris Frazier
