	Evidently a meanigful history between these lines split a little to add the curtness of pain that seems shot through the words! A poem for Frank I dream I am watching you as you walk a river bank struck as a bird wings into flight defying gravity back bent shoulder pressed in rest against a tree fatigue casts, a telling shadow downstream, my imagination holds your image, clear, caged and dear you straighten, standing tall and fearless waiting for your chance at the sky

	Hi Terry, Some lovely image, just a few thoughts - changing some of the line breaks and ease flow of reading. Use or reject as you wiish. Quote: Frank, I dream you might again walk alone along a river bank and watch a bird whose wings breech winds to take flight; then with your bent and sweating back brush against God's trees not in supplication but fearful that you might cast the telling shadow downstream, where you're imagination holds caged and dear you're quarry that awaits the presentation of the fly.
