The Nature of Spirits 01/14/06 The spirit gathers in the privacy of my senses. My eyes catch only a glimpse as my pupils dilate to the reality of the light emitted with such sheer precision. Off the record and sworn to secrecy, the moment of contact often leaves me euphorically sedated. A faint whisper, or that of a rustling imaginative echo, embraces my curiosity as I plead with my surroundings, “What do you want?” The paralysis of thought and limb weigh heavily upon my tormented duty. Even with my mind eager to connect to conscious elevation, my skin crawls with fear and anticipation. Frigid fingers ride bare-back upon the doubts of my reasoning. My thoughts, infantile in comparison to ideals of abstract logic, conjure allurement of death-gripped beauty. I am eager to share the virginity of my ego with that of yesterday’s last breath-- I repeat, “What do you want.” A lock of my hair is moved aside, as lips I cannot see rest gently against my ear, “To live.” |

There is far more to this than written It encapsulates a fear that most have and even in a way seems to me to say "I have moved my power of attorney to a Lawyer to protect from family demanding money as their right". It made me think and probably wrongly, of old people and families fighting for money and a bag of skin to disappear cheaply as possible. I often get an intepretation badyly wrong and I probably have on this, but it is the image, I have Dave |

I thank you both so much. Dave, I am just pleased that you would take the time to "see" what you can see. I can tell you that it is what it is though. (hehehe) However, after reading your response, I could certainly see how it could be perceived differently. That's the beauty of words...Thanks so much. |
