Reply Adam December 21, 2011 at 6:32 am Oh cool. I assumed its meaning correctly. 🙂 I’d do similar, but my description would be something like: “There’s this guy in my book, right, and he’s a Grim Reaper. He has a scythe. [Picture of tattoo] Thought it was cool.” Not as poignant. 😉 Adam
Reply Melanie Hooyenga December 21, 2011 at 6:33 am That’s a beautiful poem Adam. 🙂 I also guessed the meaning correctly. I didn’t point it out, but this poem is a style I did a lot in high school where the first letter of each line spells the word BREATHE. Fancy eh?
Reply Adam December 21, 2011 at 6:54 am Ooh, I didn’t even spot that! You’re all meta ‘n stuffz. 😉 Adam
Reply JD Kimple December 21, 2011 at 6:48 am I like it. Well done, dear lady. If interested we could trade tattoo photos and stories.

Reply Kath Calarco December 21, 2011 at 8:45 am Oh, I love this! It’s a reminder with dual meaning. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Reply Melanie Hooyenga December 22, 2011 at 10:51 am It’s been a very helpful reminder. Sometimes I just need to pause, take a breath, and the carry on.
