down the trodden faithful road wagon wheels left ruts in mud fossilized a real rough ride wishing bliss imaginings of appletrees and bumblebees gimme-back-my-bonnet-please that damned sun is blinding me the horses do not know my touch biting at the bit. bouncing I am traveling wrapping reigns with callousness sucking dust between my teeth drinking my own sweat from lip-- We've all had enough of this. Yet I cracked the whip with shout: "H'yah!" to horses wearying passing bones of "I supposed" ignoring all the signs I drove denying all the things I know denying everything I've done, creating ruts for someone else... pitying who follows me. |

Hence "The Road less traveled... made all the difference." Ruts get deep enough and one sees precisely the road so thoroughly traveled Better yet, think I will hack out my own path good or bad surprise resides pon my own shoulder "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |

The imagery is amazing K...you're a wonder lovely lady  Enjoyed as always  M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Had my wagon caught in a few of those ruts myself Karen. You are fantastic!! hugs.For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. |

Serenity, You managed to capture the essence of what it must of been like very well, I do believe. I enjoyed this very much! "You sleep in the night yet the night and the silent water still so dark." |
