You knew me Once before Friend, lover, brother Well enough to share a smile Or perhaps a secret And trusted me Once Well enough With your fragile treasures But, that was before I stumbled Away From the warmth of this house Seeking to finally sway Or slay My dragon Only to return now At once victor And victim Now I view the communal hearth With my forehead Pressed against the pane You know my fortune True enough To be prodigal and pariah I have returned to you As Ishmael |

ah...the prodigal returns to find what? acceptance and open arm welcoming back, or the denial? perhaps the judgements passed in some other place or time can be shrugged aside and one taken as if in a new beginning...for face value to be seen what indeed becomes.. |

Welcome to Passions, Ishmael. In your search, I do hope you find through our poetry pages what it is you seek. Please, check your e-mail for a Special Greeting! Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? |

Well, welcome back, whether as brother, prodigal, or pariah....just behave yourself this time.  who are you, anyway? never mind, just grab your keyboard and wade back into the communal pool |

 You know, the book Ishmael taught me so many things, so perhaps I will also learn from your poetry, as it seems the message is very clear in your first posting. I reallly look forward to more and again, welcome. |

So I'll slay the fatted calf and mark this as a holy day The prodigal returns at last and I would have no other way. Excellent first post Ishmael. I look forward to MORE, yes? |
