"Phase Thirty" (nothing
                             something happened  Cathy poem
the thirtieth poem dedicated, addressed to, or with it's subject as -- CJD)


A smile
A loving glance
A touch
A laugh
A caress
A kind word
A positive remark

Nothing was asked -- nothing given

An emotional breakdown
A puzzled smile
A warm kiss
A feeling that heaven opened momentarily

Nothing was predicted -- nothing happened

Nothing happened
Everything happened
With you around
It's a joy to be alive
I'll cherish the memory
When you leave now
And
When you leave forever
Thank you for what little you have given me.
1978
