Private Post : To Her
Since we agreed to let the road between us
Fall to disuse,
And bricked our gates up, planted trees to screen us,
And turned all time's eroding agents loose,
Silence, and space, and strangers - our neglect
Has not had much effect.
Leaves drift unswept, perhaps; grass creeps unmown;
No other change.
So clear it stands, so little overgrown,
Walking that way tonight would not seem strange,
And still would be followed.
A little longer, And time would be the stronger,
Drafting a world where no such road will run
From you to me;
To watch that world come up like a cold sun,
Rewarding others, is my liberty.
Not to prevent it is my will's fulfillment.
Willing it, my ailment.
Goodbye !
Sam

Nice...
Is this then the swan song?
If we don't hear from you again, we won't forget.
I took it as a message to a girl, but after kat's comment, color me confused; I hope that's not indicating the end of your blogging.
well...I am worried that it is simply after a few comments from him that he might need to back down on some of his political postings and then that last "I am not against Islam but think it should change" says he's been getting comments or emails that might be a little upsetting to say the least (if not threatening)
Oops...too fast, I hope that we hear from our friend a little in order to devine the cause.
Kat and Lehman,
I assure you that Sam is still blogging. He is just away for the weekend that is all.
I met him online and he told me he is taking a break. It was a personal post to hmmmm a girl I guess :). This guy doesn't quit ;)
He will blog from his jail cell let me tell ya :)
