Let it Go Picking scabs forever keeping the wound open delaying only the inevitable scar. Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

We don't know how to heal, do we? You're the king of concise, Robert. Corinne |

Robert~ Again bowing to your ability to take a miniscule thought and magnify it with so few words. Does that make sense? Reminds me of the effects of Haiku. Loving your work. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

to be human is to hurt.....to be human is to heal....or perhaps to be poetic is to feel way too much.....I am not sure any more. Robert |

I must wonder if any of us are ever really sure, Robert. Do we keep that wound fresh to remind us that we are alive? Excellent reflection, yet again. ~ Claire |

Again thanks Claire and Ruth.... I believe that you may have touched on something Claire.....maybe we do keep the hurt alive to remind or as a memorial. Much to think on eh?? Robert |
