Excise that mass of faultless grief
which binds the senses still in place
Extract what will affirm belief
that you may gaze into the face
of what would rule your ev'ry thought
and cause far more than deep despair
The coin with which it has been bought
exceeds by far a value fair
Lest indecision rule the hand
examine close in reason's light
what hasteful glance may serve to brand
as yours through guilt how-ever slight
A wound thus formed will let us feel
and salved with time begin to heal

You're really coming clean with this one... great read.

"A wound thus formed will let us feel

Dr. M,
   Wise and forgiving words, most poetically stated. Superb writing, to my way of thinking.

Claire,
I am honored ( that to your way of thinking )
you found this to be of merit , as I have found so many of your "musings" to be .

Marge,
All I can say is , put your boots on for the next one !

Sy,
To imitate , or emulate , this is my question. With practice , I may yet come to penning works that may rival yours . Your comments are always appreciated .
Doc
