Glow

Neville


Notice of absence from Neville
If I get the thumbs up tomorrow from my Doc, I hope to be in Miami on Friday for three days before jumping ship and spending three weeks sailing around South America .. Sheesh, what we do to try n get a touch of inspiration eh' .. Take care while I'm away & please forgive any delay in my going quiet for a while .. Hope to return feeling better than I do write at this moment .. AGT's Neville 😎👍

Glow

 

she had a strange light

all about her,

which she wore like a

pair of drawn

curtains, to let all her

shadows

   breathe easy, she said ..

and while

those she did cast both

fore and aft,

appeared golden, not

one of her

  disciples then glowed ..

but in that

moment she stumbled

  and fell, each

one of those disciples

  could tell she

was far from perfect

and her robe

was but sackcloth, hastily

  throwed ..

    That glow will always be with her and in your mind though Neville.

        There's something fishy going on between you and your imagination Steven .. Neville

        That sackcloth sears quite deeply in the mind.

          That glow and the drawn curtains makes me think of a working gal. A lady of the night, maybe. Sackcloth though? Would have thought she might have worn something a little softer to the touch. It seems she was troubled by all her shadows. I can understand that. Bills have to be paid. Children have to be fed. What an intriguing write. My imagination seems to have gone awol with this write Neville. Glow though, has a certain warmth to it. Captivating writing for sure from your prolific and varied pen.

                Quite possibly fun while it lasted... I hope the 'disciples' weren't too bitter....

                  most of the one's I've tasted were sweet .. not like honey sweet but ..

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Crossed wires here I feel, but this is the way language expands to encompass new realities....etc....

                  • Neville



                    .. maybe
