The magic of the metaphor finds the purpose of its being a useless entity on this current lie of land that once wrought mystery. See where the birds fly free? Imagine it is mind and the sea the restless spirit of all we are inside ~ and the corners, the corners, a supernatural turn into the knowing. A glass of wine is only time moving to the side and dropping down inside the beauty of a smile ~ and in the weave of stories the recreation of a dream known to be a sign on the many roads to soul. Oh, I see the tress shed leaves beneath my feet and know I have to overstep the untenable ~ and the topple of my soapbox a hiccup to make me swallow the think, think again. Take my name, your name, and this current lie of land into the imagining of resurgent mystery and then tell me – are they metaphors, the metaphors of love? Helen / 5 September 2006 |

I don't know the answer, Helen, but I do like this especially: "A glass of wine is only time moving to the side and dropping down inside the beauty of a smile ~" Very nice. I bought my share of mistakes so I might see some interest. |

Chanson - How nice to see you here! Thank you for reading and as for answers - well, "life", I suppose, could be a metaphor for "riddle". |

Helen, good morning wish there were one answer, but I believe one much search one's heart to find peace with the question especially loved this... Oh, I see the tress shed leaves beneath my feet and know I have to overstep the untenable ~ and the topple of my soapbox a hiccup to make me swallow the think, think again. this really spoke to me |

Helen "A glass of wine is only time moving to the side and dropping down inside the beauty of a smile" ~ A poem itself and the wine takes away time and births words more easily and a smile...for me. |

LeeJ and Martie - thank you so much for the read! Time is adept at moving most things aside ... except love, of course! |
