Tides of emotion wash in And out with ebbing tears Emotions of mingled colours And cries of darkened fears Cresting waves of yesterday ' s years Where time had stood still For a second glance to see Yourself reflecting from a mirror Those lines of wrinkled times And aging thoughts and rhymes The tears and fears of mine So distant yet for me so near An awakening image of idols And costumes for me to wear To play the stage and roles Where acting replaced my soul And I lost my thoughts to hold Stripped naked and blind to seeing My tiding emotions and natural being. 11

Years from now, in future days that no one can determine, will it be the conversations or the pictures that hold the greatest memories? Or perhaps a combina- tion of both? For to look back through the pages of a lifetime and recall the moments of joy and sorrow, we will always feel a closeness of being associated with what once was, but as well, with what might have been. Cafeterias of the world are all the same food for thought and exchanges of views. Helping people, shaving the veneer, modelling concensus and leading weight by strings might well in fact demonstrate the need to all that if we are to overcome loneliness, we must be open to ourselves and others. And that is life, for is not life memories?
