The sea's rule, not mine:

The pilotfish will live on;

It's the shark who dies.

And mere minnows stand almost no chance at all. *S*

You write volumes into so few words, my friend... and do so with unequaled excellence... fantastic write!

yes, well done, wish I could do that, but expression grabs my hand, and away we go?

Hugs and thank you

I wondered what a pilotfish is! Thanks for the clarification! I love the astounding simplicity of your poetry that speaks volumes! Enjoyed!

Have a great weekend, James!
