To clutch each word as if it were your last A folly perhaps greater than its' sum For unlike many illnesses that pass to this , a terminal one , I've succumb The words attain a life out-side the host No more in symbiosis do they dwell 'till he who pens such thoughts is but a ghost of former self , a conduit , an empty shell Sub-servient to this new masters' whims Un-knowing that this has become his fate A vessel that been filled right to its' brim yet lacks ability to concentrate Once envious of those who plied this craft I see too late that it will make you daft |

Now I know I'm in trouble....wasn't too swift to start out with! But yes, it is maddening at times, but I've been addicted to far worse! Glad to see your name in the scrolls doc! |

when retreading old to new, it brings new life again. So, I look forward to your writings again and again. LP |
