The clouds roll in but lined in black,
the sun is pouring through. The
beauty there within the sight
will take the breath from
you. Do not be fooled
by color fare or
streams aglow
from heaven.
Find a safer,
calmer
spot
much
closer
to
a
haven.

< !signature-->

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats

Tim....I am glad that you enjoyed this piece. Thanks.  


Chris.....I never could write in spanish...lol...so I guess I have to reply in English (though that isn't the greatest either.. ) Thanks for your help with this and I am glad you survived the rush.  

Mike.....I am so happy that you liked this. I thought I would try something a bit different for a change.
