Hello Old Friend

Here you are...always stead fast and waiting. Poised for my return no matter how long I have been gone. Accepting my absence without question. Patiently waiting for what is to come. I neglected you my friend. Why? I did not want you to become the outlet for all that was negative and sad. I did not know how to take you in a direction that was safe....for us both. Yet Dear Friend, I have felt you tugging at my soul.... After all "writing is the supreme solace" (W. Somerset Maugham)
