(Tell me, do you understand its message?) if you’ve been deep-sixed collected zeros in recent 200 fear not for we are with thee we, the zero hunters, seeking who we may empower not devour lifting them lifting their intent to a higher plane a plane within the view of plateau visitors yes, patience, oh, virtuous one, for though your words grow numb we will find a way for you to have clumb back up where it takes not an eagle to spot you within the dust and stones that lie where you have come to rest we will stir the air about you and carry you aloft where others may see you should have not been tossed, patience ©October 6, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Virginia - yup....been there and felt the bottom fall out from under my attempt at what I thought was "pretty good stuff." lol. Oh well, things seem to be getting better - not many taking the big dive are there? So many poems....so little time. hugs, Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

I've been deep-sixed in file 13 tanked with Tanka know what I mean? I've been hit upon with no bruise to show and micro-managed more than you know... I've rounded the curve in my fifty-ought... and I'm liking this poem that you brought... zero hunters, I've bagged my game... just let the Sun in... we'll rise all the same... |
