·TheCrookedPath

We'll always have the ribbon of sky That we watched together, you and I. Nothing more. I don't wish to see the weight of you, how if you were free, you'd crush me. Your softened edges would hurt and scrape me. Your arms would never see fit to hold me. No, you'll always look skyward and fly for me, Your lie is still alive, alone But truth is nothing but a stone.

TheCrookedPath

Not much to say. I'm a father of four, working to keep my pygmies fat and happy. I have always liked Robert Frost, but a recent book that I'd stumbled across introduced me to John Donne.
