Pat, your meaning comes through loud and clear to me; at least I think it does. This is excellent and concise writing. Thank you for commenting on "Twisted Trail". Sometime very soon I will posting a new piece that dovetails with this piece and "Trails".

I felt the thrill of the dive with them.

I love it! I got butterflies in my stomach with this one.

Love ya!

I am a bit puzzled by the "Aloneness" being a healing element. I do know that too few are willing to go along for the ride. Been there, done that! M.True

Wow! I loved the ride. Even the letdown at the end.

A meaningful sharing that can be interpreted personally depending on the reader. Thank you, Pat. Love and best wishes to you,

Very familiar with Manic Depression. Well done . . . xo

The thrill wears off after awhile.

How can you read this and not be taken to some unwanted place...and then taken again. Great writing Pat.
Cheers,
Dan

Brilliant. So many different visions come to mind...

Ahhh . . . Takes me back to when I was driving a '57 Merc, dragging main and looking for trouble in the form of female companionship. My luck ran hot and cold, but the Merc could attract them if I couldn't. Of course if didn't matter what attracted them, just get in the Merc. A&W's for root beers and drove to a place I knew where nobody came around. Your poem ended with "Aloneness will heal him." I think it did, Pat, and I am still alone. This one touched me.
