No Longer in Pursuit you have won, yes the victor, triumphant were you an elephant, then your trunk would rise in glorious trumpeting were you a lion, then, your roar would echo the savannah as you are man, then and not vain nor even vainglorious but appreciative you only smile at the sun and whistle in the wind allowing only one to know the race had been in your favor all along. |

as you are man, then and not vain nor even vainglorious but appreciative really enjoyed the poem especially the above bit "you are what you own in this land, you can be king and it all depends on the view and what you can see" Whipping boy |

Gotta' agree with Brian above, that part is pretty amazing, this poem is very meaningful, and I know how that spiteing feeling feels when you know you've lost, and although it causes you pain, you still accept it . Thanks for the great read, L.of.L. Tommy .

Decaflame, I found this interesting and full of meaning. I try to never take it for granted that I've won the war, especially when there are many battles yet to be fought. Michael Proust- |

were I in pursuit and you the object thereof I could only smile Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Do you actually mean to say there is one of us males out there who is not completely vain Sorry, being a vain man I could not resist. Methinks there is much within the metaphor. Thanks For the moment swallows all things blinding our eyes to Heaven. [This message has been edited by ArticulatedSigh (edited 05-31-2001).] |

I am finding myself quite remiss in not coming back and thanking you all individually ~ as time is not always mine to own, but only borrow from, now and then, and as many humans do, I try to put too much in to a far less space of time than I would otherwise want allowed... but thank you all for your generous and sincere replies.... |
