ever so carefully I watched as her tried and true medium justification turned its back and ran down center yellow lines not looking back she was left front and center without a vehicle so she jumped the next train to Vindication but I didn’t join her I don’t ride trains anymore I just stand in front of them morning is rough going period and today is already black around the edges the darkness closing fast giving anger a reason by assigning fault doesn’t help much at 3 am whose hands were on the wheel doesn’t matter when the dog is dead dead is dead and on top of the dead that remain with the living the weight of one more is too much inner peace is worth whatever the sacrifice |

I don’t ride trains anymore I just stand in front of them morning is rough going period and today is already black around the edges the darkness closing fast giving anger a reason by assigning fault doesn’t help much at 3 am How can you write such ugly truths... and do so with such grace and beauty? Heart hugs to you, my friend... I'm glad Sunshine didn't remove this... for I'd have missed a read I needed. *S* Excellent!! |

jbeans, very few people can write such painful truth and still make the reader feel comfortable with the words. I'm glad I had a chance to read this. |
