The shadows of dusk hide in the young eyes of couriers, those creaking young bones drive their engines home into their suburb shrines, restore the curse of desire and the order of child and their paths cross over the path makers and the blankets of lenders cover fixed winners. But the crisp glad faces, the artists of skilled sleep, their glaring smiles filled long with cool and gleaming white, walk in green pastures beyond the streets gray lid, beyond optics scattered in sheltered wombs, in the high towers, where scent nor repose reaches. Birds in the Beech trees, singing birds - whom no shelter covers, whose small wings wander the silvery arms of life, warbling sweet zest, melodies that ferry love songs to thrill the soul to the inner chambers, the old music of the woodland trails and the flight of fall Geese that bid adieu the scoured succulent harvest, throw their bright voices on the future's restless ears. Oh fiber dreamers. Oh concrete toilers of the sad cities, messengers trapped in din halls, in the uprising throngs of haste with the head chiefs drawn faces of sworn allegiance - greenwoods call, call from the struggling seeds, show me your faces - sleep in my protest tent. Under the coins in the wishing well a myriad of faces hide, the faces of children their love communion to lacking ears, isolated time, guilded minds. Mother's ghostly justice encircles the savage pirates of the perfect emerald belt, their blades of steel storming the ancient ridges valley to valley, to the great seas, sacred seeds, flying gypsies, left crushed on desert floors. In the teeming roar brass ears miss the future voices in the playground, seeds for whom they kill. Celtrue2000@E3B1G9 |

WOW - this is a mighty piece of work... excellent... "Oh fiber dreamers. Oh concrete toilers of the sad cities, messengers trapped in din halls, in the uprising throngs of haste with the head chiefs drawn faces of sworn allegiance - greenwoods call, call from the struggling seeds, show me your faces - sleep in my protest tent" Wonderful images here..
