Here, in Rome, all the ends are lost,--. all the roads here crisscross and merge. Every path here leads to a cross,-- on each corner, there stands a church. Here, in Rome, every rock is sacred,-- every street, every acre and block. In each sculpture, a God stands naked. Heartbeat blends with the beat of the clock. Here, in Rome, any man can sense more than his hands can hope to grasp. and much more reflects, hence, off the eye than off the looking glass.

Wow! This reeled me in then the ending gathered me up and spit me out. I was thinking, God naked...it was as if it meant more plainly seen and understood, no longer dimly as in a mirror but face to face. Then "the remains deny the past" threw me for a loop. Did you plan that? |

What a write! I loved this a lot! Sauni Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |

Hey Master.... This is great. I found myself reading it over and over again...even out loud. Good job. "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike |

Very very good! This really hooked me.......great! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Superb. . . it does indeed, beg to be read out loud. . . ---------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
