This is very different from your normal writes...well the ones I've read since you came back. I'm not going to say I know exactly what this is about....I'll have to read it a few times more and come back with a better comment. Just wanted to say....I was leaning forward into my screen as I read this and...holding my breath too.....without realising I was doing either....this really got me going....I absolutely loved it!

Wow, an oldie and a good one!! This was brilliant and you have progressed in your writing so much over the years!! This was so sad and heavy. Dark. It gave it something strong though. The wording is very well done and the style is different. Love it.

This kept pulling me in as the fire did in the poem. I could not help imagining I was her in the forest. Absolutly beautiful write!!

Thank you for reposting, Liz. Your talent is a rare one indeed, I read so many things in between the lines.

The child; he grips tighter,
"Why fight? Are you not weary?
Let the fire drown.
Surrender, you shall see -
serenity will comfort you."
