The truth of me Each day I walk illusions path Rafted by the aftermath. Days when demons haggle me Others, splendid greenery. Motion set by will-o-the-wisp Range from soft to crispy crisp. All lead down the garden path Purest love or purest wrath. In shadows of the moon or sun Awake or asleep they run. Engines of my common wile Make me sad and make me smile. They seed my mind where e'er I go They bear the fruit that I grow. They fill the empty of my time They pull the rope that chimes my chime. And when the cock crows in the barn It wakes the emperor Genghis khan. |

Each day I walk illusions path do you think that will ever change? just a rhetorical question no need to answer ~Wynter I think you have inspired me once again... "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

I've been reading your work for quite some time now and wanted to tell you how much I like the way you weave. |
