Aloha

Right-minded sister--
I wish you could have listened
to the songs I heard:
found your own fair harbour

island of tranquility.
God knows, I've wrestled a night

more than twice thinking how

life might have gone if only

I'd been a little keener for surfing--

been there when your tsunami came ashore.

[Little Whisper]

In the first two lines my heart dropped....each line after I feel such sadness... I'm so sorry...so very sorry.

[Ken e Bujold]

thank you for the kind review Whisper. You don't need to be sorry, the crime was all mine. A long time back, but still a regret, which only now am I forgiving myself for. In youth, we quite often act without comprehension of what consequences might rain upon us

I'm thankful you are finding forgiveness ....finding peace.

There are storms in life from which we can find no safe harbor. The tidal waves come leaving only devastation in their wake. I wish you fair seas, clear skies and smooth sailing onward.

thanks fabian. I'm fine. This incident is long and ancient, just something I finally decided needed emptying from the closet

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Writing is a wonderful cathartic at times. I hope it helped bring you some peace.

[Chris Shaw]

No mistaking the pain and sadness in this short piece Ken. That final line says so much. Emotion conveyed well.

[Chris Shaw]
