This is for an E-friend, I hope she sees it. She has sprinted through her stream Jumping from rock to slippery rock Never landing solidly enough On any one, to pause, And catch her breath Until now Winded, muddied and bruised She stops and takes stock Of her progress, She has come quite far, in a very short time and now, she finds herself surrounded by beckoning whorls and eddys. Each wanting to take her She knows not where Deep green pools call her Into their cool calm depths To rest in their Morpheus wrappings Rapids, white and wicked Dare her to test them To test herself within them I think that she must be frightened Unsure of her next step She knows that I’ve traveled this route A long time ago And looks to me, not for an answer She’s too strong for that But, for a hint, some clue Of what lies downstream I decide to walk along beside her Safe on the bank of my own stream And describe for her the path I took In order to caution her, against it. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

A most admirable decision on your part, wranx, to walk beside her to prepare for what lies ahead. Once again, you've penned an awesome one! |

You just get better and better the deeper you dig inside yourself wranx... and this? shows your heart more than you wanted to be done I think...but no damage done...this is beautiful!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

I once said, (er...TYPED) that if my writing did nothing else but to serve as a warning to others, then it would not have been in vain. Sometimes I write with the sole purpose of cutting my own head off, placing it on a stick in the middle of my path--in warning to others--"do not enter here." *hand over heart* thank you. I could relate. |

Happy that you all replied to this. It was written for a friend (that writes wonderful things) as an invite to post here. I'll not tell her handle, but, I'm sure you'll dig her as I do. Provided, of course she ever shows up. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

Moon Dust ~ Thanks for the read - But... I've not needed Kwell help for many years, and at that, I've had Crab lice, just twice. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... is sometimes, intolerable. Bukowski [This message has been edited by wranx (07-28-2002 01:41 AM).] |
