It’s an open book

Printed over time
Both in Braille
And words

You can read
The story

Or feel it

letting
Fingers trace
What eyes scan

As the chapters
Change.

It’s an open book

Written word

By world

By wound

And now
A bit tattered
Around the edges

But,
Still
Serviceable
And complete.

Let me turn
The page.

You say that I have a way with words, but you are the master of them :-)

Excellent...

A somber feeling of realism and a heavier pang of inner-torment, marked with decisive resolution...  Consistantly powerful work, Ron.  So, when's your book due out again...?

Indeed captivating, your words move me.  Well done.

Very well written, you have awonderful stile to your work.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Ron, *shaking my head and grinning* You have done it again. This is almost a direct composition of a very vivid visionary type dream I once had. I realize that my interpretations of your work tend to completely discount intent...but hey, what can I say? You touch me in strange places...(ouch, the things I type!  )

Enjoyed very much. (hmmm...maybe too much?)

(I exit, laughing...)

oh. and thank you.
