And drive...

Who was always so driven to succeed, that working replaced all frolic.

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 27Of Him and not me?
Muttered the dragon, full-formed, wretched,
Stench unfathomable, seething and snarling
His great lungs expanding and exhaling puffs of darkness
Slanted, shining, scorching eyes burning into my own
What light shines but His own?

As inner voice
Leaps above noise

Recollections From the Golden Cree IiPast unconcerned hens that distractedly
Scratch
Under frowning protestations from the
Sheltered Lee;
Into the cloaked shadows lain across the
Cobbled courtyard,
Behind which squats the twisted form of
The old brooding, arthritic apple tree.
Past the neat little cow-byre
Hosed...
