The years have worn his features thin; he's hunched upon the weathered bench, ignoring winds and sea-lashed spray. A chill begins to glaze his bones. His frail-edged thoughts retreat to days when children's laughter pebbled through warm-scented pathways of his life. A trembling sigh escapes his lips. He drained their love to fuel his climb; he strode across chrome-powered peaks on shreds of crayoned Daddy-hugs and all the moments in between. He knows the final tally's taken, hears the tread of vacancy. He sees a solemn finger beckon past the furthest shade of grey. 04/15/02 Laryalee Fraser (I tried to return a while ago - could not remember my password, and could not get a new one because my email no longer existed. And for a while they weren't accepting new members.) [This message has been edited by laryalee2 (05-22-2002 06:29 PM).] |
