One would expect giants to be raucous with stomping feet and booming voices. Most certainly one does not suppose them to be stealthy, for it is beyond me how such a large disturbance can suddenly appear out of nowhere challenging harmony at a moment’s notice …though I tend to think that watching too much TV is partly to blame. Giants do not, no, make that cannot, live at peace, not with us, not with each other; I have found that disruption is in their nature. So what ever you do, do not attempt to befriend one can you imagine a giant at the dinner table, their appetite is absolutly incredible. And be sure that they are all liars; they might put on different names, but really they are all related. Contention with a giant will undoubtedly end in destruction and death….yes I need to warn you that giants feed on death. Luckily I lived to tell you that mine dragged me around by the nape for far too long, and with me putting up so little resistance that I’ve no idea why he did not just eat me. I was jarred and jabbed at his whim, until that is the day I faced him and found there was more than one on my side, there was One higher than I that stood with me. I am happy to report that giants have one major weakness they don’t like to be confronted by someone bigger. |

You go girl! I'm jumping up and down! Yessiree! The Higher One can slay all those giants that are contentious, destructive and jar and jab us at their whim! A fine piece of writing. You should be proud of this poem and of yourself! God's Love & Light, Linda xo |

I guess the giant could relate to an abusive spouse, or alcoholism, or drug addiction, etc... This, to me, was quite interesting to read. It really captured my attention, fully. |

This is wonderful and you're right - bullies don't like being confronted by real strength. [This message has been edited by illusion (08-11-2005 11:47 AM).] |
