Jim, it seems as though every write of yours stretches the fabric of my mind just that much more. Indebted to you, Thank you.

Ah, yes you hear it too. Thanks for the add Golden!

Case and point guys. Whomever decided their should be a choice was clearly not a father. Just don't continue the cycle. Their are alot of fatherless children out there.

Great write!

I want to tell you of a song. It lies not on paper, but flows from within. Its tempo runs in unison with the beat of my heart. It resounds between my ears..louder and LOUDER then soft, soft again. It is as though behind the mirrors stands a maestro conducting a symphony of the grandest kind. How wonderous the roars of water harmonically intertwine with the gails of wind. I can only imagine the pyrotechnics of my synapsis as i hear the notes and envision the painting~like picture. Thoughts of rapids colliding violently against rocks. Married with the sounds of wind thrusting through the forests. Sending the leaves to clap in the air as they fall. Then almost to a stand still. The chaos is subdued by a brook stream playfully splashing enlaced with echoing crickets of night. Yes, yes you see it? You feel it? It almost crys out to you to laugh as though you were a child again. As quickly as the song enters my mind, it moves a smile throughout my body. But then vanishes without a trace and i'm left standing alone poised to applaud. I open my eyes but the song.... it lies not on the Paper.

For those of you man that feel they can't be a parent, here's a suggestion that should be apparent: assume everytime you have sex it will result in conception. Sure i know the idea is far from perfection. But consider the alternative, not using protection. Submitting to your one thought head will surely not keep from your name being spread. I know i know you say you use condoms and it stops an infection. But what happens when the holes invisible to the eyes detection? Remember the quote: Life finds a way. Do you really want to be faced with the choice to stay, pay, or run away. Know the answer now! don't wait for the day..... And finally remember what a child needs the next time you go to plant your seeds.

With much respect....thanks Mom!

Peace be with your mom always.

Uncaptured thoughts leaving you to conceive the possibilities. I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

How perfect!

Suggestions for title?

Consider the path you've chosen over the last year or so..... Perhaps it has proven arduous at times, maybe the fear of the road ahead produces anxiety. Also consider speed at which you travel it might lead to some answers. If the speed is enough to give you whiplash think about down shifting. Good luck.

Thank you Pam for the flowers. Pleasure to have you read my writting.

Sorry for the lack of grammar.

Depends, what's your intent with that spool of thread? Kidding. But seriously tgamjp for the comment. I'm glad you liked the poem.

Had to get rid of the 666 posts.

Funny you mention, for within a nearby dump you could find a stove representing the cooking a la bigblue.

Thanks Angel, Mt.

Agreed scones sound wonderful. You'll have to send me the recipe. For fear i have the look of a baker but present no talent in production.

With each to their own respect for the earth, clear as day. Great write DKW!
