Life

You sought me out Peeled me back like a sapling Devoured my every tiny morsel Encrypted my direction Exposed me to the elements You released me into the desolate wastelands Condemned to walk alone Swollen with the shame from their mockery Tormented by the hunter & the hunted Just when I thought that was it You said this is your LIFE.... LIVE IT!!

Actually this made me smile Cathy, for all the torments of life, what choice do we have but to live it, is a good reminder though and well written one. Take care, Richard

No one can live it for you. As frustrating as it can be at times it is truly a wondorous gift. Another fine piece of writing.
