A Candles Light My mind has lit a candles light Who’s bright has caused a frightful fright. This sight that plays this earthly ground Has brought a sigh, a cry profound. Smog that burns the Seeing Eye Water slicks with oil and dye Sounds that dull the ear of hear And dust that covers all that’s dear The maddening rush to make ends meet A drink of poison clear and neat A puff of smoke that numbers days That’s the entire of my gaze. And so I’ve blown the candle out And with it the light without I now reside my own cocoon Under a poets paper moon And there I write in red despair Of all the ills that I’m aware |

And so I've blown the candle out And with it the light without I now reside my own cocoon Under a poets paper moon ================================== I'll meet you under that poets moon ... we'll not worry or wonder of things taken too soon. Instead we will walk on your beaches of understand ... we'll meet and greet all our friends in Poetry Land. For here humanity commits no crimes ... here humility is harbored in the harmony of our rhymes.  *winkiewinkie*    [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (12-13-2002 08:22 AM).] |

"I now reside my own cocoon Under a poets paper moon And there I write in red despair Of all the ills that I’m aware" --------------------------------------------- I love these lines Sy. It is a shame what we have done to Mother Earth and ourselves... At times I wish to reside inside that cocoon as well. Send Randy for me too, please, kind sir??  ~Morning hugs~ ~ Season's Greetings to my 'family' at Passions ~ |

Oh Sy, there are days when we all just want to stay under the covers and hope no one knows we're there. "... I now reside my own cocoon Under a poets paper moon ...' Great words .... Hugs, Marti |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Seymour, my heart goes out to Moher Nature, it is so saddening to see how man believes because of our ability to bend things to our will that other animals can't that we have the right to murder other species and cut their homes down! (sad sigh) This is powerfully aching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
