Echoing steps on pollished wooden floors. Gymnopedie no1 playing, rising into corners of the sparsely decorated room, dolourus. He stood looking at beauty without, mind elsewhere, somewhere. Crack! Stumbling backward, abruptly returned from the mesmeric slow spell, from the piano. Falling down the cracked glass pane, a Bronzed Cowbird. Watching it on the ground, dying; smeared scarlet running in rich rivultes, he observed life ebbing away from the stricken bird. Rushing from nowhere, the Coyote, wolfed the birds warm body, with ease. Rain fell, washing blood from the pane, apathetically he turned away, lost once again within Satie's sweet spell. Standing with flames warming his legs, cradling the bulb of his brandy glass in his hands, black liquid invaded his mind. Outside, God's rain fell slowly silent. Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba. |

You paint a pretty bleak picture this morning! Alas, it is but a reflection of the darker side of nature ~ "survival of the fittest". This was beautifully written, albeit disturbing and sad.   Linda |

I just came back for another read and I have a better understanding ~ and more appreciation! ~ of this fine piece of metaphorical poetry! You'd make the Greeks proud!  Linda |

Now where was Juliet when this happened? Shouldn't she have been lying in a "grave" playing dead. I totally feel this one. Right on. =GIS Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes |
