I set my throne upon my father’s grave, And dwell amongst the shadows of his life; A quest to continue his verve I shall not save, Onward I journey far from this night. Bequeath my face to the quill like tears, And sacrifice my heart before the arrow and bow. I heed to an ever essence fountain drawing near, That shall lend me escape amongst its water flow. I stand now before myself in a mystique queue, Awaiting my return from the nowhere that I have come; Seeking the fruits of an endeavor that I shall feast as food, Retrieve a plate of spoils which has left me desolate and numb. Will not one understand my plea to be hidden? Or wonder if my spirit has some how been surmised? Will I forever walk exposed and transparent? Or must I lay rest to the father and son before my spirits rise. [This message has been edited by Ravenwolfvoyager (01-12-2004 07:09 AM).] |

Bequeath my face to the quill like tears, And sacrifice my heart before the arrow and bow. I heed to an ever essence fountain drawing near, That shall lend me escape amongst its water flow. Jeff, this really touched my heart. It felt like it was written from your heart. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hugs  Ethel |

Maybe I'm not reading this right, but I felt a sense of regret in your words. You've woven a tale that's braided with meaning. I will come back again to read it. Thank you for sharing this with us.  |

I set my throne upon my father’s grave, And dwell amongst the shadows of his life; A powerful introduction... ending with questions that may have no answers... I like this very much! *S* |
