I wrote this back when I was on the farm (here), and I just rediscovered this while looking through some old files. I mark it as the first decent poem I ever wrote.
"An Aside"
...stillness. The moment balances atop a keenest
silence, wavers, and falls
a tiny raindrop through the empty vast
(what desperate indifference is a heart in need of
purpose). A slight tap...
then two...
Man, this little number brings back memories. The farm, during my break from the madness, my aspirations to be a writer or something, how the thing came to me in pieces, how I wished it were longer. Wow. That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

I found your story. And the poem. I, like ashley, kinda stumbled upon this site. I appreciate this interaction so much. My hope is that we can help each other. What is the quest?
