Is this a rea...Hi Joesph I am pleased to meet you. Is this a realization, or more like a non-recognition of a feeling for someone, some one that belongs there, who feels right there, who makes you feel all the good and bad things that you feel, and that without this person in your life you wouldn't be who you are? And you don't want to recognize it, you don't want to focus on that aspect of the relationship, you don't want to name it, you don't need to let that brush define the relationship, but that you do want to say to this person "Hey, you know I wouldn't be me without you".....? Because that's where this poem just took me. And the emotion in that overpowers me. It's like when you first start realizing that hey, this is serious and I don't want serious. I just want us. Serious has like a 50/50 survival rate and I don't need that conformist crap. What I need is him, or her in my life and that's it. And that's like a crossroad Joe, and I think it is the most incredibly wonderful thing that can happen to us. Falling in love I mean. And with that said, God, I hope I didn't misread your poem. For all I know you might have written this as an ode to a worm just before you stuck him on a hook and plunked him into Lake Erie. I've been wrong before, but now age and each passing year allows me to be a bit less embarrassed by that particular trait of mine. I'm John, by the way, and I hope if you have a free moment you will visit my blog. I really like your poem. Been there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735446301837589358.post-67069540179059885402011-08-30T21:37:42.128-04:002011-08-30T21:37:42.128-04:00This piece is very inspiring and so well written I...This piece is very inspiring and so well written I enjoyed reading it so muchAnn LeFlorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421100825301270608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735446301837589358.post-61662875626839979542011-08-30T18:57:13.436-04:002011-08-30T18:57:13.436-04:00There's not much that I have enjoyed on this j...There's not much that I have enjoyed on this journey more than watching you make you...
