I glide silently Eyes wary Slowly Focusing Tall, sparce grass Bending Parting before me No hatred exists Only hunger Survival The driving need Quietly Urgently Through the night No more The blinding flash Ends the hunt leaving me Bleeding Dying Remembering The last time My eyes fade Leaving the Ghost In The darkness Sorry it took so long, karen... I hope it meets your challenge. /pip/Forum7/HTML/000602.html Cause in my dreams it's always there The evil face that twists my mind And brings me to despair.

Powerful and moving, rhythmic... all of a sudden I was at the end in a very different place having left the "ghost behind" I like the distinction you make between "hatred" and "survival"...and your outcome. ~choshi |

HEY SWEETS!!! I'd forgotten about this'n myself, and YES, this was what I was looking for! I enjoyed looking at the hunt from this point of view (and it was nice to merely be an observer this time, too, giggle?) Hugs, you. Excellent work, ringodude! |

Nancy- You always have such kind words. Thank you. Choshi- I'm glad you liked it. Karen- I am so glad that you think it filled the challege. And, for the record, I don't think you are an observer at ANY point. lol |

 (big angel hugs) Somehow I think chewing on the hunger is a nutrition all to itself, like overriding the appetite and then before you know it you made a great distance but nothing has changed! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I'm just going back "diving for pearls" that I missed while on vacation during the holidays, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
