Flashback – Poetry – EVERY WORD

Every Word

The tie is there, an unexplained bond
between two unrelated souls.
It cannot be easily explained, and it cannot be ignored.

For whatever reasons the channel
is always open between them,
and they follow a voice vaguely
familiar but hauntingly clear,
This tie is not hindered by distance,
nor dampened by tears.

In the quiet of the night,
it calms any fears.
The words are unspoken, the voice
is not heard,
yet the message is quoted word for word.

It cannot be easily explained, and
it cannot be ignored,
for whatever reasons,
they understand every word.

The tie is there, an unexplained bond.
It is not hindered by distance,
nor dampened by tears
In the still of the night it calms any fears.
What is this mystery, what can it mean?

All through history, someone has seen
visions of events that were yet to come.
Was the message sent to ease a sad soul,
or did the words take on a life of their own?

It can't be easily explained, and it won't be ignored,
for whatever reasons, someone hears every word.

-- Cathy Ann Abernathy (circa: March 1988)

Another First Saturday

weavercat Leave a comment
Tis another “first Saturday” — and has been relatively quiet at the store.
Been cleaning ‘junk’ out of my gmail account; and doing things trying to to settle Mom’s accounts, and such.
Progress is going ahead, slowly. Will be more talkative, later. For now, let us just say, things are beginning to drift in, and get added to the short list of things that need done, in a timely manner.

Yesterday was Good

Yesterday was Good Friday, this weekend marks three separate Holidays (Ramadan, Passover, and Easter) — so having Good weather on “Good Friday” was a bonus.

Saturday, started out a bit wet; but by the time we left home, the sun was shining.

Business has been steady, if not on the quiet side. Bart brought more books in for his ‘booth’ — I priced F2 toys, and Dave price various “tiny treasures” that he and Howard have been going through most of the day, a fellow brought a load of stuff by yesterday afternoon, and they did a trade.

Spring means itch — whether sinuses or skin — I just wish that the elements would give a me a break from the irritation for a few days.

Nearing the hour of closure, at the store. It seems the 3:30 crowd, may actually be coming by today. We will see…more later.
