Three palms stand silent
as pillars in a ruin;
this pagan temple

the whole world seems to be a pagan temple these days

don't know what you intended with this, but this is what it made me think..at least it cured my numb mind. *sigh*

Well, Temptress, pagan is a popular thing to be these days, and there's a lot validity to it -- I've experienced it first-hand. But the way it's done these days, mainly for fun, isn't square with reality.

Hello again, Rat,
   You have a point and said it so well, of little surprise to me!  (Right now I'm at a standstill with words-wish me luck!)  Thanks for your continued posting.   I find your
writing to be thought provoking.  Happy writing to you.

RatL,
  
  I am glad to see this beauty up for a re-run.  It says soooo much in so few.
  Incredible writing!  I haven't seen as many of your postings lately-i hope all is well with you.   Take care,
