And I'm supposed to be afraid oh-you-must-be-idiot do you think that I have waned without the waxing of the moon? I'm supposed to be a-skeered of all the things I thought were fear eight eyes and the tentacles underneath the water was a simple horror picture show but I was not quite aware of how the monsters were in there dangling by strings... I am not afraid of you. I watched movies with my dad and saw the soldiers trudging steps with their footboots full of lead as the refugees fled South against the tide of blood red green camouflaged and things they'd seen were damp and dark and empty clean of lessons they had learned too fast of tunnels and a trip-wire trap with babies crying in the street strapped with bombs that trigger sweet nothings...in a soldier's ear someone who was trained to care stopped to pick that baby up and blew away himself with love... and I would rather die than drive around the bundled innocent-- and I am not afraid of you - But I scare myself. |

Serenity...Awesome write. Touches on a subject we all pray would end, war. I would love to look inside your head and see whatI would find but then I might get lost and never find my way back, or maybe I wouldn't want to leave LOL...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Ah, this poem says so much more between the lines than what is expressed in the words on the page ( and those words say a great deal) Sometimes it is much easier to face those monsters on the outside than to deal with our own personal internal monsters. In all reality one should be more afraid of herslef/himself than others for we can not control what others will do but we do control what we ourselves do ( is this making any sense at all   Anyway, enough said other than this is an excellent write full of vivid imagery Ruth |

Yup that is you ..."word blessed." Now this was absolutely worth the saving, but then most of your poems are. Maybe it could be I think that is the only way I will ever have a book of "you" in my hands?  |

"and I would rather die than drive around the bundled innocent--" Understanding the emotions running beneath this. You are what every mother who loves is...and God/Goddess help the poor soul who would harm an innocent with you near. luv you lady.......jo |
