<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Several years ago, a very close friend of my sister
died. Sometime during following night I was "given" this haiku, intact,
for her (</FONT><FONT face=Arial>I have "pluralized" it for our current

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When we were with you,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We were made of light, and dark.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now the dark is gone.</FONT></DIV>

those who mourn for them, I hope we can take some solace in
it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>but, dear agneta, your words are the best ones, <BR>because you
have written and spoken them. you gave them life. <BR>your words will have
their own rippling, encoureging others. <BR>there is no judge, only ears and
eyes, and hearts. <BR>look, how fine are your words. isnīt it nearly a poem ?!
<BR>thank you for unlurking. <BR>florian
