Awakenings
All winter my true nature lay
dreaming among the warm-blooded bodies of
my many memories,
Waiting for this moment of Spring
to arrive and revive me with the scent
of fresh prey.
Being a creature of many disciplines
I have learned to school my emotions
behind a colorless mask.
I have my many rules to abide by,
and I am nothing if not constant.
I never hunt in the Winter months,
for there are too many variables
and frailties of body... a sniffle
or sneeze will give intent away in
a heartbeat. Not to mention the footprints
left behind at the scene.
Still I have been amused by the
other school of thought; to incorporate
ice in the art of the kill, because
the evidence melts.

hey sis
this is fantastic to read, after reading the first few lines
thinking those are the ones I would quote then the next
few were just as good and so on, but I could not leave
without giving these lines back to you
"Being a creature of many disciplines
I have learned to school my emotions
behind a colorless mask." I can't find the words to describe
this powerful forceful read
these line set the tone at the start of the read so perfectly
"All winter my true nature lay

my many memories,,,,,,,,,love it all cat ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zigs

Hi Cat
What can I say! I was just pulled along by the story. It was a joy to read - I would say more but everyone has said it - and I concur with the comments above.
Lovely to read Eddy's work.
