Wish List

I have a list. A wish list on Amazon, upon which are all the books I want but cannot afford to purchase at one time.

Once a day I check my list. I switch the view from its default of the last book added to the list to price from low to high. Every so often one of the books on my list will drop to $0.00 and appear at the top of the list. Today was such a day.

Now though I have also discovered that it pays to also scroll through the list because every so often slightly more expensive books, the ones in the $4-6 range will become free. I am not sure why they do not appear at the top of the list but I do a scroll and today another one had dropped.

That makes two books on my wish list that were free today. How totally awesome is that?

I weep…..

**Picture found on Internet**

I weep….

sitting beneath the spreading limbs

of the oak tree

where first we made love.

I weep….

rememberances of our time together

spearing the air before me

as you leave my life.

I weep….

not with regret

not with pain

not with hate

but with sorrow for you.

I weep….

knowing that you shall never understand

the truth that I offered to you

the life that you could have had

if only you would reach.

I weep….

with sadness

for alone you shall be

never knowing

what love offered

unhindered

unfettered

with my own wants and needs.

I weep….

having to whisper goodbye

because no longer

am I able to hold you near.
