ever wonder about the movies?

ever wonder about the movies?

if Rhett lived happily ever after
not giving a damn, frankly?
did Forgiveness enter his wounded heart,
wantonly, all vermilion-mouthed
and titan-haired?
turning his eye to her lovely
nakedness, rosy-cheeked
and glowing with sun-kissed youth?

were Scarlett and Tara a match
made in heaven, was the ground
she walked on blessed, all the
dead returned to their graves,
at peace in the world beyond?

do Lovers rise from the ashes of
Paradise?

do you ever wonder about the movies
and the roles you play?

~A~

Anna, I really like the tone of this

I like that Anna. That is beautiful. Funny, I have never quite understood why people get so upset with conflicts. The key to a good conflict is to listen to the apposing views. It may not change your mind, but might make you modify a little and understand a lot more. We have had some good discussions and apposing views w/o going all nuclear on each other and that is invigorating and sometimes good ideas come out of them. I wish you would post that poem here also. It's really good. From the strangest places come good words. We all play roles at times. Some good, some bad and some for protection from hurt or anger. Well done my friend. Well done indeed. ((hugs)) Respectfully, Rett: "Today, I feel like the south end of a north bound mule." Rett

As a friend in another group

As a friend in another group posted: "it's all gone to the wind". We don't always have a chance to say "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong". That's much worse than any slight we could perceive. Thanks for reading and commenting. And R(h)ett, you know I love having you for my *adversary*... you offer me a balance for any *com-up-ance" I may be lurking. ;-) ~A "If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time.
