The Fenceman the fenceman stands upon the fence looking left and right wondering which way to go in the dimness of the light he has some friends that wander there he left them on the way other friends are on the right he sees them when they pray but he is just a fenceman a commitment’s beyond his ken the way he walks is teetering for the path’s extremely thin he tells himself, the narrow way is the way that he must go yet he finds it awfully crowded as his recognition grows the way he thought was narrow is full of other fencemen, who, just cannot make their minds up to seek the way that’s true he doesn’t want to be a sheep nor does he wish to be a goat so he teeters on the edge of faith above a dangerous moat something in his heart is dimming to a gray as he sadly turns upon his fence and heads the other way now all he sees are shadows of the things that might have been I hope I’ve learned a lesson and won’t end up just like him ©April 13, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Well Virginia, he who straddles fence could get hurt! Kind of like the guy that has taken the middle of the road, he got run over by traffic going in both directions. Nice write.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Walking the fence is both dangerous...and safe - for the path is already selected for you...by default. Good read. CG |
