To clutch each word as if it were your last
A folly perhaps greater than its' sum
For unlike many illnesses that pass
to this , a terminal one , I've succumb

The words attain a life out-side the host
No more in symbiosis do they dwell
'till he who pens such thoughts is but a ghost
of former self , a conduit , an empty shell

Sub-servient to this new masters' whims
Un-knowing that this has become his fate
A vessel that been filled right to its' brim
yet lacks ability to concentrate

Once envious of those who plied this craft
I see too late that it will make you daft

Indeed, it can make one daft! Wonderful phrasing in this thought-provoking piece Dr.Moose, very much enjoyed!

Now I know I'm in trouble....wasn't too swift to start out with! But yes, it is maddening at times, but I've been addicted to far worse! Glad to see your name in the scrolls doc!

when retreading old to new, it brings new life again. So, I look forward to your writings again and again. LP
