Abigail

Dear Abigail
the earth is like bread
stale in the dry winds
of my transgressions
She forgives little
and asks much
returning meager gifts
within the harvest's burden
Save yourself and shun my breath
cutting me from your heart
One swift strike of your sickle
and the bleeding will begin
carrying my scorn far from you
Embrace this time to heal
let the moments find you well
with open arms to a new love
worthy of your keeping
and the eternity of your smile
Dead to you as I am
and should remain
Your once and seldom hero

Wow, good writing. A sensitive subject, penned beautifully

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

What a very sad letter. My heart went out to both Abigail and the writer.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Stunning! (I promise, everyone, it's not about ME!) I loved this one.

This reminds me of "Legends of the Fall"! My heart was yanked out for her...and the letter. A hero once is more than enough. Simple things are divine. Very touching write.

Sincerely,

Gee, I thought you were talking about our Passions newcomer, Abigail...scared me for a sec. Great write now that I know it isn't she. ~Nancy~

Willie,
How wonderful for us that you found your way to Passions.
This is incredibly beautiful.

Your writing reminds me of Woody Guthrie for some reason - I hope you're not offended. I really enjoyed this piece too...

Hi, "Woody Guthrie" I take that as pure flattery, though I admit, I'm not well versed in his work (music, or otherwise)
