~ Yours is a bitterness that has captured you on a downhill slide. ~ I’ve watched through the years as you clung with such fierce determination to your angers. You’ve held those rages to your bosom, ever nursing them as though they were beloved children. ~ Beware, my friend, they will rust your spirit out like an old car in a town by the ocean. ~ The time you dissipate in that ancient chair, on those antique rockers of memory, allowing those bitter winds of mutation to whistle round your heart's door, is ravaging you. ~ Those rusting springs of rage will stab you some day. ~ You will discover one day the damage done; your loving soul becoming increasingly feeble, and your caring nature slipping away until you cannot retrieve a trace when you desire it back. ~ Saltwater left unwashed eats away holes in metal. ~ And rage perpetually nourished eats irreversible holes in spirits. ~ ~ < !signature--> The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ...

Wonderful story with wonderful images! I liked this one a lot! "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |
