Lacey led me into the living room And to the old couch set in front Of the smoke stained stone fireplace. “Let’s talk a minute.” I said, “Some things you should know.” I told her about Iambe then And about how we had parted. She listened a while then rose, Paced the floor in front of me And asked me, “Why?” “Why what?” I asked “Why are you telling me this?” she answered and squatted down staring at the black hearth that held no fire. “Maybe I just needed to tell someone.” I answered and got to my feet. “Maybe I figured you should know.” “Well, we all have ghosts.” She said, “Yours seems to be good at rattling chains and keeping you scared.” I walked into the kitchen Grabbed a couple of cold ones out of the 30 yr old fridge And headed back to the living room. “You scare me.” She said yet again and I sat beside her wondering what it was that scared her and why. “Lacey, maybe you ought to hold off on showing me your bed.” I began. “I can sleep on the couch tonight, and tomorrow we’ll see what the day brings.” She sighed and looked at me with eyes That reminded me of the time I had put down my horse. Trust Fear Sorrow “Hug me?” she asked. She melted against me Soft with a hint of heat And I kissed her cheek. “Goodnight, Lacey.” I said and swatted her as she walked away. Somewhere close, I heard the high-pitched scream Of the screech owl Protesting moonlight And thought about the years I’d spent protesting Other people’s Light. |

Captain, it's because of lines like these.. "She sighed and looked at me with eyes That reminded me of the time I had put down my horse. Trust Fear Sorrow “Hug me?” she asked." and these... "Somewhere close, I heard the high-pitched scream Of the screech owl Protesting moonlight And thought about the years I’d spent protesting Other people’s Light." ..that make this reader smile before she clicks on your name... Excellent ... just the way I had imagined. ~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~ ~ Trace my body with your words.. |

She sighed and looked at me with eyes That reminded me of the time I had put down my horse. Trust Fear Sorrow ... Somewhere close, I heard the high-pitched scream Of the screech owl Protesting moonlight And thought about the years I’d spent protesting Other people’s Light. ~*~ Damn.... |

“Well, we all have ghosts.” She said, “Yours seems to be good at rattling chains and keeping you scared.” Ron, you know I love every episode...but this one was even better than most. Seems I'm playing catch up again.... |

"She sighed and looked at me with eyes That reminded me of the time I had put down my horse. Trust Fear Sorrow “Hug me?” she asked."  (smiles) I've got to be honest, this exact same part jumped out to me the most also, that owl screech seems rather eerie to me, let's hope they can weather the thunder together, this is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Capt. Ron, the same part that Noah said, from the horse's eyes to where whe said "Hug Me" is what grabbed me..... You are simply amazing, Sir....  "Love makes the world go around" |
