"Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph"
T. S. Eliot


An Epitaph is Born

It occurred to me a few days ago how many loved ones have departed this earth leaving traces of their mysterious scent behind only to soon be forgotten by those whose lives they have touched in ways that should indeed be forever- etched.
It is thus; “etchmeinstone” was born to honor those who have left us, so that we may celebrate their lives, their tunes, their colors and scents.
I have been blessed with the gift of prose and poetry and believe undoubtedly that words are the antidote, the magic, and the ever-shining light that would heal, enchant and guide us into our mind’s eye. We shall then shuffle the lyrics of life and build castles of tears, laughter and heartbeats and remember that music shall never cease, even as the curtain finally drops…..
