conscripted blood is gathering turning curlicue inside feeding from the atmosphere lies or just what's kept inside tending to the pain of that relentless knocking in persist this--it is-- just like the kiss-- reaching simultaneous as I draw my cloak retreat draping bells across the feet painting smile upon my face lines in bold to widen eyes in mockery of innocence-- stare into the sun and fry tracing a transparency of patterns laid like tiles before the audience behind the light applauds and stands as curtain falls. Dim the spot and wipe the dust from the lens of fantasy... The fringe of velvet arisen-- naked now I stand alone touch a hand across my heart curtsey grateful to the floor another silver soldier dies slithering from downcast eye a suspect now because I smiled. "Oh..." the hands clap red relief. Knowing glances of astute whispering in wise asides: "All part of the act." |

Thanks Barry... (and would this be the sound of one hand clapping?)  I guess I should go back to the laboratory and see what went wrong here. (serenity exits, calling for Renfield...) lub ya!  |

I may be way off here, but I see sadness and torment in this, and maybe a hint of vulnerability... |

 (smiles) Encore, encore! (big hugggsssssss) It's all part of the act but the audience has the choice to clap with one or two hands! God Bless You, sweet friend, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Thanks all, and especially Edder. I've been trying to not write so cryptically lately as sometimes I just assume people KNOW what I'm thinking (other times I fool myself into thinking I am so clever as to be able to hide it too) This was just a little something that popped out after pondering the old "All the world is a stage" saying...and yes, there is vulnerability, touched with a bit of cynicism from both the actor's point of view and the audience. A mutual wariness of trust, if you will. Sigh. That's what I worried about making clear. Tsk. Failed again....thank gawd this ain't rocket science, eh? Love you all! |

"All the world is a stage" and you know why? Because there are those of us that just can't handle the truth... So we lie, we act and we accept at times, so that we may enjoy what little sanity we have left... Failed? Maybe in what you thought you wanted to do here, but you, Karen, never fail with what you write...  Susan |
