there's a feeling
I get in my gut
that tells me
my soul must live there

it's as warm
as the flesh of a tumour                              
as cold
as the fist of her stare

and on nights such as this
when I feel it
when I'm breathing
both water and air

I curl up
in the lap of confusion
to nurse
at the breast of despair

Tony, This must be one of your new ones as I don't remember of seeing it. I love it however.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."

Yet again, Tony you amaze me with your depth of words and how you take an image and theme and make it SO much more.

LOVE this - powerful write!

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
