In the heat of night...larvae morph the eye of recycled hurricanes.....ya know the silence before the gale that fits a season a plumb drops down a well shaft for some reason The backdrop on the plain is classic the saga must have plagued the Jurassic profound silence before the still night calm breeze between shadowed leaves on the other side migrations stir not in any particular race its the season of the... They sip at river's edge..in company of those leaves the crocodile floats by...rests under eaves an approach of a season causes animals to stir in the air a rustle becomes a defined whir travel, voyage anywhere where you go, they don't care It's the season of the... one becomes one with a larger group for the newsreel this is hardly a scoup... when it infests...it devests all sheaths the croc grasps its victim head then feasts Bear paws jostle a hive's patience still must find a reson for this migratory will but the bee wears gentler frills this one buds wings as fish fry do gills In the heat of the night before summer storms wash away the blight local farmers express yearly fright It is the season of a pest one of the plagues known best out of the bible and one of ten and flares across savannah lion dens as fast as the wildebeest herds rush erase the crops...it precedes a hush A hush through the shaded leaves quiet lies for prey under eaves in the heat of the day followed by night this is a modern plague... a locust blight travel, voyage anywhere where you go that migration does not care [This message has been edited by ecrivan (07-11-2003 12:34 AM).] |

Thought many things as I read you... From the monsoons, to the overpopulation of cities, to the emotional restlessness of modern man...to locust... The purpose of the journey is only known to the creator. Enjoyed. TD |

I enjoy going on these voyages with you! You're a great travelling companion. I can just rest and close my eyes, and you describe everything vividly for me!  Until next time, EA |
