It reminds me of those in my life who are no longer alive!.!.!.they are not visible, yet their presence is felt!. They are watching over me and their presence is felt!.!.!.yet they cannot be seen or even heard!. Few, if any, are simply gone with no impact on the ones they leave behind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This makes sense to me because of the Wolf poems and reading a reference which would have normally gone to my Y/A mail, but didn't!. But then, it makes no sense at all!. Gone, won't be around anymore, period!. Invisible, here but can't be seen, just as you wrote!. I guess that's how it is!.

I can sit in a room with a dozen or so others and feel invisible!. I rather be gone than to have that feeling that nobody cared!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
