[hometext] => Just meandering thoughts...
[bodytext] => Where bright words dance like trout Celebrating in a cool mountain lake, I am the fisherman with stalwart rod My catch, my sustenance to take. Words I keep in pockets, deep wells Where no human light ever shines. Dusted with lint and disappointment, As I work the forge of my rhymes. Words held in a candy dish on my desk, Waiting for my fingers to fumble forth Some semblance of human language With its expendable crumbs of worth. My life I write with words dull in pain, Offering them up as a timid sacrifice, Knowing minds shall judge them thus As they roll them - like bone-white dice.
