I stumble on you Losing balanced thought To fall face first into Muddy memories That do not break my fall gently, But fill my nose and eyes With grit worn from stony faces. There were Or were there… Days and nights I soared Lithely stepping from one heaven To dissolve in mists of you in another Knowing what two felt like as one And in arrogance of delight Thought no end could be Now I breathe And try to remember the tactile impressions, The scents of love then, But my face is covered In this eroded time And the sands of My stumble |

Ron, I like this a great deal. Many, many lines.... "I stumble on you, ~losing balanced thought~", oh, yes. and..... "with grit worn from stony faces" and my favorite, which I relate to most: "arrogance of delight" (good one) I've been in that frame of mind more than once, ooh, letting that invisible guard down.... Sad write, but right. Enjoyed. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

I do believe this is the first time I have seen you soar... then you pulled the rug away. |

Days and nights I soared Lithely stepping from one heaven To dissolve in mists of you in another Knowing what two felt like as one And in arrogance of delight Thought no end could be Now I breathe And try to remember the tactile impressions, The scents of love then, ================================= feelings like this...do leave one hell of an impression...leaves memories too...or are those called scars? .... yeah... I know. (also makes for some impressive poetry)  It's so nice to wake up in the morning all alone and not have to tell somebody you love them when you don't love them any more R.Brautigan [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (12-13-2002 07:35 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) This is such a touching write, sweet friend, I hope all is well as I think we can all feel misunderstood and lost! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Ron! You've been busy. And I see a new Cpat emerging, methinks. Ed I'll be back for the rest. That finger thing, yanno? |

But my face is covered In this eroded time And the sands of My stumble ..hard to breathe when buried in the sand--like the honest of this--well done! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Man, you make my heart bleed. That's good writing, friend. Balance is indeed difficult to do, especially for poets, I fear. Cor [This message has been edited by Corinne (12-14-2002 11:39 AM).] |

Excellently penned, sharp vision, though your pain is from the muddied views. Sad but highly perceptive and powerfully done! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
