Once I was an artist
I paint no more
Once I was a musician
I play no more
Once I was an athlete
I run no more
Once I was a photographer
I click no more
Once I was a writer
I write no more
Once I was
A
Lover
Time flies



Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? -Kahlil Gibran

Arresting words, Local Rebel. Your work has such a somber yet audible edge.

i think you will always be all of those things........

time flies, but so does a hawke
and a the talon's of a hawke are always ready to grasp onto life....


your few short lines say so much about the things which mean so much to you

But you haven't lost those abilities... only taken a break from the activities. *S* 'Cept you damn sure haven't stopped writing! (Unless you're stealing from another poet's notebooks? LOL)

Many things change...if we allow it, powerful writing, it caused me to reflect for a moment....I love it when poetry does that! Great work~

Rebel~
Quite a reflective little piece.

Worth the ponder that it caused ...
I enjoy pondering.  Thanks for sharing.
