Sunset

I very nearly missed posting a sky photograph as my mind has been all over the place today. However, as I looked through my photographs I came across one just for Graham.

Just beyond the sunset

Just beyond the sunset Lies a home for me Where the world is peaceful Like a paradise should be Just beyond the sunset Someday is where you’ll find me Written - July or Aug 1966 David Harris

This is a lovely and thoughtful tribute Denise. My thoughts keep returning to you and your friends, but especially his wife. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.

What a lovely tribute. I hope he has found some peace. And I hope his family and friends will be able to find some peace as well.

So sad!

A beautiful photo and poem for your friend. I'm so sorry he felt he had to do that. It must be so very hard for all who knew and loved him. I'm thinking of you, Denise.
Blessings.

Suicide is a thoughtless selfish act.
Especially when done so that a family member will discover what has happened.
My thoughts, love and sympathy are with his family, not with him. That may seem cruel and heartless to some. The living are the important ones, the dead are gone.

Beautiful sky.

btw love this poem- RObert Frost one of my faves.

Just back from Sheerness, a weekend with mum. Hope popped in here to check you're ok.

The other day there was an enormous downpour of rain, real heavy and sudden. I looked out the front windows and it was dark grey, but you could see the clouds moving fast towards us- a strip of blue separating the dark grey from the horizon- and one long, long strip of rainbow, almost vertical, right in front of me.

It was stunning- the colour against the grey, and the straightness- too dark to see the rest of the curve. Made me say 'wow' out loud. Isn't it great when something in nature can still comfort or surprise us? We think maybe that only happens with kids but every now and then I'm still surprised :)

The blue of the sky is amazing. Beautiful shot :)

KaiBlue said...

I love coming here and seeing all your photos and reading the so very apt verses you find to accompany them..
Thanks for sharing Denise!!
Peace, Kai xx

Michele said...

Beautiful... {{HUGS}} I hope you are doing alright. You are an incredible person with an amazing heart and soul.
I wish you were here so I could squeeze the stuffin' outta of you... you are awesome. =)
I thank you so much for the support and comments you have done for me in the last weeks while my life was upside down, it has meant so much to me! Slowly getting back into the blog world even though it will be sporadic.
I still have a long road of recovery and hospitals to attend to...
Thank YOU for being YOU.

Cath said...

And that is where you will find him Denise. One day you WILL see him again and there will be a Paradise - that's what I believe anyway. He's just resting. Till you meet again...
