Writing this story generated in me powerful feelings and I am so happy to be reassured it worked for others too.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the 'one more step' refrain was inspired by thoughts of the Wessex Folk Festival songwriting conversation I had wondered about entering (well spotted Daffy). It has to have a nautical theme so it would have to be 'one more step' up the rigging or something similar.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it strange how our creative minds can slide from one thing to another?Rob Hopcotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07802521115618353098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545741933775107147.post-85693944695554688792008-04-26T22:22:00.000-07:002008-04-26T22:22:00.000-07:00I felt this could have been a piece of music itself.. the way it read. Quite, tender undertones and then heading swiftly to an exhilarating climax.
