Now I say
remove the net
though I tremble on the rope
I'm going to try
a pirhouette...
If I must cry, I'll cry in hope.

It's been lovely.
It's been grand.
I love applause
from the grandstand--
I pray my feet will find the ground
as surely as the tightrope wound...

Pack my bag with pipe and harp
let me end, to make a start.
Surely, there will be a place
for a poet's heart in grave.

Pick no flowers.
Burn no trees.
Let laughter
be the death of me.

And though I say that I must go?
Look for me in the sideshow.
I'll be the lady with the grin--
whose heart beats outside--looking IN.

Because I know you'll be writing, I know this is the right step for you. But the net (and Passions) will be here when your break is over....

I think if you have to cry, with hope is the only way to go. Special words from you.

Love this one, Serenity. May your tears wash away the hurt and pain replacing it with hope everlasting.

I love you all, and it's NOT goodbye (a bit of personal insight here, I don't say goodbye, I just slam the door on the way out!)

Just need to take care of business...

I'll be around...everytime I need a hug, I'll be back! (Like now, fer instance?)
