Everything seems like once upon, or someday, but there is never enough of now. <BR/><BR/>We're never the same, but maybe our desire is. <BR/><BR/>Beautifully melancholy, Vesper. As always, you speak to me in a language I understand.

Welcome to my blog!<BR/><BR/><B>SzélsőFa</B>, faded photographs... You know, I look at the photos of my daughters as babies, and they are just a few years old, not faded, and I can recall the feelings that filled my heart then, and I remember exactly what they were, yet they are not the same... And I remember my desperate grief at my Grandmother's passing, but after 22 years there's only a dull pain left... Good, bad, time makes them all uniform in the end...Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-12544290516886629022009-01-25T13:49:00.000-05:002009-01-25T13:49:00.000-05:00Nice observations here, Vesper - reading your poem...Nice observations here, Vesper - reading your poem felt like looking at a faaded photograph of the deceased...<BR/><BR/>Yet - some emotions are even stronger when looked back.
