don't ask
« on: June 23, 2009, 11:35:09 AM » by StellaR

don’t ask,
how I am; not today.
shadows confound
and I do not ascertain true forms
among them

why we choose
such a moment to unwind

so cruel, so unwise

but that is the way

we row or paddle
stroke the surface
then find momentum from
a deeper wave

we stop for a moment
breathe moistened air

and prepare
to be carried

Stella, I'm liking this a great deal. Not sure if you wanted this in Prose, but that's where it is.

Thanks,
