It sits undaunted at the edge of the grove, breathing heavily, the wind in it's hair Hide creased deeply with age Its gnarled claws furrow painfully through the helpless soil, Moist from morning's tears Tangled and matted, its leafy tresses are woven into braids and knots That catch the breeze and throw it back Surround the sun And squeeze it within its grasp Always reaching upward and out As if to grab the sky by the throat Boastful and bullying Dismantling the lacy shroud of fog That envelopes it Tries to cover it up ------------------ The little girl on the plane, who turned her doll's head around to look at me... ------Franny & Zooey------ ===J.D. Salinger=== [This message has been edited by Deep Blue Me (edited 11-16-1999).] [This message has been edited by Deep Blue Me (edited 11-16-1999).] [This message has been edited by Deep Blue Me (edited 11-16-1999).] |

Wonderful imagery here, D.B. I won't pester you for what "it" is...I will just sit back here and dwell on this for awhile. Michael |

How's the dwelling, M? What do YOU think it is? What I think isn't important! I care what you all think. DB |

Tom, I would never get mad at you for expressing your opinion. This is an easy one people. Are you forgetting that a goofball wrote this? ( At least as far as my Father is concerned.) You are all so intelligent and introspective that you're missing it. But if you want to make it your own, that makes me happy too. I love you, all. DB ------------------ And if the band you're in starts playin' different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. ==P. Floyd== |

DB Can't find the keys to your place. Seeking shelter under those beautiful trees again? As in My Odd Desire -RS |

Well after all, we BYRD's have a special bond with the Woody Perennial. Got a chuckle over Isis going out on a limb. Always a good read my friend Thank you -RS ------------------ |
