Private Play

there were two of us as I remember

out on that scraggly limb

counting down deliberately,

as precious moments tiptoed by

and we?

laughed as we usually did

scrunching our noses up at anyone who 

stood beside the rising tide

we were like that back then

running roughshod without regard

for consequences

after the shows

no one around

to run out of town

free flowing

liquid snow,

without a care

we double-dared anything

to stand in our way.

we had it made

you and me

private play...

Aloha Jacob,

Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments. I am touched.

Been working on an illustrated children's book, titled... Let's Learn Manners, but took a break today.

Will be by soon,

alisa ;-)

i love this....and am so glad to read you again.

i feel that friendship here..that bond between two people that cannot be broken....and all that is shared between the two privately....those are special friends...the ones that are so special we share that which we would not share with anyone else...

i like the separation of the last line...that works so well...like it has its own privacy.
