Trust is a fickle fascination
built on pastry thin layers
on memories buried deep
beyond our conscience recollecting
until coincidences, scents, sounds
and too, too déjà vu
surface feelings
triggered doubts
superimposing themselves
over the reality
that sometimes
trust comes
with extenuating
circumstances

Yep, and sometimes those "extenuating" circumstances direct you the wrong way. I like the phrase you used to describe trust, Lori: "built on pastry thin layers." There is a lot to you that remains untapped, my friend.

It can be pastry thin sometimes can't it Lori, kind of like a, what have you done for me lately type of thing to make yourself trustworthy or otherwise.

Trust, is fickle, but then so are we in general aren't we.

This is a very good topic and you wrote about it well, it gave me much to ponder and thats always good isn't it.

"that sometimes
trust comes
with extenuating
circumstances"

haha... that is brilliant!

Well, well, done!
