I must reblog this story of the incredible woman, Neill James, who did so much to support and built the magical Mexican community that I now call home. Thanks to Antonio Rambles, for both telling her story as well as the stories of all of the lakeside writers on Riberas Authors. Follow him on his blog or on Facebook if you want to see more.

It chips away. It casts a pall.
The face of time affects us all.

On Reflection
We squirrel away the memories, their details much enhanced.
How is it that they did not leave us as our lives advanced?
As our lives acquired more finesse, the games were not so fun.
We appreciate the playing more now that it is done.
The games we play in later life are done with pens and papers
but oh, we well remember those early childhood capers.
First loves of adolescence as we fumbled through the rules—
how to play the game of love not taught in any schools.
And though our later lives may be filled with fun and zest,
Long afternoons or late at night, old memories are best.

Matt asked us to tell about our best birthday ever. I would have to say that in spite of being sick on my last two birthdays, they turned out to be two of my favorite. Here are links to posts that tell about this year’s birthday:

Dropped
The night is a broken cup,
its last sip spilled
from a shattered edge.
My thirst unslaked,
I dream
dry dreams
that go unquenched
by morning’s
gentle rains.
The dVerse Poets prompt was to write a poem that was an extended metaphor. Brief poem? Brief metaphor.

This is a story of an amazing sixteen year old girl in Mexico and the school for the gifted that she promotes.
