in the shadows

Bitter water on the tongue
a path of broken rocks,
sharply jagged bits
of long lost shattered dreams,
and in the end,
the shadows whisper to me gently
nothing's what it seems.

Almost true....some things are what they seem. Finding those and holding on to them is the hardest thing a man can do, on this plane or any other.~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________

Don't you just want to ignore those shadows sometimes?

I like this. It has much depth and feeling behind such brevity.
SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

How true that can be...sometimes the greatest lessons in life are learned from that which is not what it seems....BRAVO!!!

Wow! You sure got this one right, icebox. To know things aren't what they seem is great but to know what they actually are - well, we just have to wait I guess.

"Druid Memory" ~ I have had a few of them myself! lol Some have been softly whispered while others come through like sharp shards of ragged rocks!
Interesting write!

Icebox, I enjoy the way you write - and better yet, the comments you cause others to emote. Thank you!

Everything changes...the path, the rocks, the foot and the way it feels. Each minute is new. I guess the best we can do is understand the truth of the changing...and try and go with the flow. It helps to have a really good pair of sneakers too!

The more things change, the more they don't change at all. It was the same for Druids, as they learned in time. ~~J
