As 2008 enters history books, we prepare to herald the dawn of 2009, MMIX in Roman, the year of the Chinese Ox. Pray and wish the new times usher in success, much needed peace, pinkest of health, happiness and affluence to all and sundry.
Gauisus Novus Annus, amicitia... Yes, I'll spare you the translation trouble - Happy New Year, friends. Here's an English haiku (of course written by moi! :) ) for ye all.
New⋅er days ush⋅ered
Our jour⋅ney shalt con⋅tin⋅ue
Mind grav⋅id with hope
I lost my grandfather a couple of days back (the 29th). This one is for you, ol' man. I could never bring myself to show you what all I have written. Beats me as I search for reasons why...
You never failed to inspire me. I am blessed to have been your grandson. A vestige of Life endures past Death.
Chry⋅san⋅the⋅mum wreath
A shroud of e⋅ter⋅nal peace

Will catch up on missed posts soon. Peace.

My deepest condolences on your loss...
may the new year bring in good news for u..
A beautiful tribute with lovely sentiments. I smile gently and thought of my inspirations. "Thank you" for provoking such on this Eve of a New Year - a storm raging outside - a little boy safe here with me surrounded by a warm fire, raisins, a new Pez dispenser, his favorite meal just waiting to be served, and knowing that here he is free to be six - I wish this for all children and all adults too - The freedom to "be"...
Peace and hope for us all
Gail

No amount of words are appropriate to fill up for the void, caused by the demise of someone close.
Sorry to hear about your Grandfather.
Happy New Year dude
Take care
God bless you :-)
May your grandpa's soul R.I.P
I really appreciate your Constance, yet don’t hold it in yourself dear, what is death to a soul who is so immortal in true hearts as yours? It’s a relief to a long journey... Let us make ’09 an year draped in the realisation of beauty, truth and reality of nature. Let's engage nature with the most vigorous life and productivity, healing and serving as equals and harming and fighting enemies(who abuse nature)
Peace and Luck be with you.
it is vy unfortunate to learn about ur grnadfather. May his soul rest in peace..
n since my stay with my granny, i know it even better, grandparents r real blessings they r trees who never take a hiatus showering us with their fruits n shades of their experiences n love..
Have a rockin yr ahead..
Cheers!!
