“THE ONE I MET” by Bill Charles ~~~~ I was sitting there talking with her, she said her name, was ‘Sorrow’… And she spoke to me very softly, saying I would also know her, tomorrow… It seems she sought me out, and came after me with sweetness, like a black widow… Now that’s someone that does in her mate, no fooling, she’ll pierce your heart, with an arrow… So beware, she lurks in corners, who knows where, sneaking around, and behind every door… Maybe under your bed, just waiting, take a look and you might see her, on the floor… I ask you to be careful, or be welcomed to this club, but be aware, she’s very sneaky, even yet… She said ‘Sorrow’ was her name, I know her well, she’s the one, the devious one, ‘The One I Met’… ~~~~ |

Tendrils of time glean about thee, true, And echo in gentle sighs The embers of hope... of evanescence. It will be a mystical thing ~ This moment~ When one thought is "sorrow" And the next a hollow. But, alas, not as you perceive. For time wounds all heals- 'Tis true- Shhh-only if you let it. |

Sometimes others just seem to have a different sense of propriety than we do... and they always will... Sorrow needn't follow you to tomorrow, my friend... Be happy...  |

Amuse_mi - thank you for the kindness and understanding of your words. I added some to what you wrote, hope you don't mind....... Tendrils of time glean about thee, true, And echo in gentle sighs The embers of hope... of evanescence. It will be a mystical thing ~ This moment~ When one thought is "sorrow" And the next a hollow. But, alas, not as you perceive. For time wounds all heals- 'Tis true- Shhh-only if you let it. "Time echos thoughts, here and there, so many gentle sighs, deep within, And a faint light of hope, comes to surface... The magic of one moment in time, when 'Sorrow' no longer reigns, But hollow, I do not want, tis care, that is a craving... Yes, the wounds heal, time never flees, and it is true, For deep within it enters, and I cherish with a quiet smile, as it does with comfort, knowing, as I let it, because of you.......... BC Nan - you are so very gracious, and kind with your words. Thank you Nan..... |

Bill Don't let sorrow and hate fill your mind for life in itself is too short. I can feel the pain in your writings. Be happy! |

Yes, sorrow is a devious one, seek the truth and the glow of it. |

I guess she lurks in waiting for many Bill. All seem to meet her one time or another. I don't want to be a member of the club but I have been in the past. Very creative write Bill! I enjoyed it very much! |
