Just look at you now John Bone Woven into your embroidered past Held fast by the stitches of history Moved, to pluck and pull At the beads of your misdeeds See how you struggle Poor fellow Against the ropes that you’ve braided To chance a last dance with amour Too eager to unravel Knots of your own devising They are, after all, your knots Are they not? Old fool "The shortest distance between two points is.....sometimes intolerable" |

wranx We make and unmake our lives...sometimes the tangle is hard, but for love, even when old, worth it! As always you write edgy truth...and make it charming. |

Well. I can certainly relate. "Against the ropes that you’ve braided To chance a last dance with amour Too eager to unravel Knots of your own devising They are, after all, your knots Are they not? Old fool" Sigh. I say much worse to m'self tho.  |

"To chance a last dance with amour" I always say no, until I don't.... Thank you for sharing this fine bit of work. |

If the fingers be as nimble as the mind, the knots will be unraveled in no time... Peace, Love & Light, EA |

Those knots bring to mind a noose, and I'm not about to hang myself, although I've come close a time or two. A slip knot makes for a nice effect but it doesn't hold much weight. Love your work wranx~ |

How true. We are definitely cruel to ourselves at times. |
