In sorrow's time Salty floods seeped Sliding down my face Incessantly Drying the damp Became aerobic exercise No distinct path Beckoned trod of feet But marching in place Insured sinking. Then loving hands Reached beneath surface Braided threads of hope Into steps of salvation. Fragile, flimsy This ladder appeared But was strong enough To allow ascent. |

Risk is the chance we take I guess... and pray we don't fall short of our desire. You always write so nice suthern~ |

ah lady, am sitting here in a puddle...this is beautiful, and frail appearances are not as they seem sometimes, for this ladder is woven with angelic threads... thank you for this my lady friend, I needed to read it.....big big hugs I have been walking around today with my arms wrapped around me, needing I guess a hug of some sort to make 'this' go away...your words lift me and lift that feeling of despair high enough to let it go...thank you again my friend |

Well I cant say what I might believe ... |
