if I scream, will you hear me? would one scream be enough, (or two..or three) to make you feel powerful again? how many? how loud? ~listen to my whisper~ my soul will not scream again I no longer stand rooted while you carve, then crunch curled shavings beneath your feet; I scaled the rot-wood picket fence of your mind prison and pardoned my sentence-- peace and freedom are sweet you may have returned, but the scream of me is gone and I no longer grant you the power~~ "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul."

Yes! "And I no longer grant you the power." That is the key to getting ~unhooked~ in every way. Liked this a great deal. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

I scaled the rot-wood picket fence of your mind prison and pardoned my sentence- Your words ring with truth and a feeling of contentment~ Thank you...Sandpiper~ |

I no longer stand rooted while you carve, then crunch curled shavings beneath your feet; I scaled the rot-wood picket fence of your mind prison and pardoned my sentence-- peace and freedom are sweet indeed they are hard won...and anything hard won is sweet. respect again for the courage and the write. |
