Upon these faded pages I write with pen and quill,
So many scars upon this book that has so many chapters to fill.

Mixed with passions
It's hard to write with this quill
blotted splashes that cover the tears that I spill.

Will this make the poets swill
or think that I am still
aching for something that has long past?

The journey goes onward
as I sit here and linger
within this book that has the present and the
past.

Still we sit here
In much distress
torturing our minds
in which the soul feeds on
In which we drink each page
remembering the journey on we continue to
go day by day.

okay-here is my take on this....you broke up the verse but used the lines and you shared with them a family they seek. You have made them better in such a great way that I have no choice but to honor you with gold. Your poem was beautiful and I thank you so much for taking my words to a place I have not been able to. You honor me in such a great way with what you brought to compete.

SO here you go
with a medal of gold
now three more challenges
for your stories untold.

(still up for it? You surpassed all on your first one....let's try one more.)
