Left As it were, I opened my door To look upon that Worried Withered world. My heart on the ground Holding onto what I Hoped to never leave. But the walk away Won’t sustain my heartfelt ache. For even though I have gone Long past the mountains Towards the far-flung ocean. My feet and my head, Will always be planted On this lovely ground, My home on which I stand. Momma says, "Life... is like a box full of chocolates, you never know when you're gonna get one with a nut in it". |

My heart on the ground Holding onto what I Hoped to never leave. We tell ourselves or listen as others say it's for the best... that we must step forward in order to grow... and yet... and yet... Your words vividly portray how difficult those steps can be... and how some vital part of us never leaves. *S* Excellent work! *S* |

Thanks Lady, I appreciate it. Suthern, the "walk away" is going to be hard for me, I've lived in my home my whole life. It's something I have to deal with, no bones about it. Thanks for understanding so well. Cheers to you both - Ed "Give me a museum, and I'll fill it." |

A bit of alliteration, always welcome, warm, and wonderful to sound out in soft sultry tones... |
