I stake a claim

I stake a claim
on someone
who eludes perception
I stake my claim
before my audience
senses the rejection I may endure
and cascade pity
in sympathy's disguise
I stake a claim
on the candle
that illuminated the prize
that is ours
I stake my claim
with the unknown certainty
of losing
to the highest bidder

These are interesting perceptions, Pete, of one of the ways we go about making our lives real for us....and how elusive and sometimes fearful it all can be. I like it.

why so little reaction to this recent post from Pete?
