There are more subtle twists and turns in life

Than there are grains of sand - in a sea of strife

We turn one corner, hand in hand with sureness

And around the next - comes another lure, less

Filled with spite or anger, which has gone before

And much more complete - filled to brim, as a store

After connections which left me abandoned once more,

I found one other which boosted me up with a lure



Of positive feedback - on Kings and other stuff

And allowed me to bloom, and feel bright enough

As knowledge was imparted, and opinions exchanged

And never did I feel in any way at all lame ...

The night was filled with very sensible thought

As I beamed and fluttered without being distraught

No games, no romantic liason thought about or made

Just two sensible minds sharing ideas in the haze

Of dawn's early light - as it pried open my eyelids

And I saw once again, I'd had quite a night of it



My steed had folded and thus stabled itself well

And ambitious plans I'd made had taken a back shelf

But all is okay, even so - in the castle of this knight

For once again - pain I'd shunned had thus taken plight

And I saw once again - good people who do now abound

As I surfed the net, and chatted - just one more round.
