mother with eyes of stone glancing I know your gaze at dawn when you give me illusions and the sounds of your voice are warm water on black brick earth the ichabod trees are but reeds not reading but just staring as if the printed pages of your sky need more photos to be worthy of being worn in the thoughtful pales you dangle your pods of promise like umbrellas pending another rain but I know they will not be open when I am man enough to need them and I, like their shadows will shiver while waiting for your invisible evenings ______________ daark (scribblenote: Photo by KarolFranks http://www.flickr.com/people/karolfranks/) [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (12-31-2010 11:22 AM).] |

Mother passes from day to evening and awaits not the ichabod tree. When in need many things can be likened to the ichabod tree, merely there, for show, not for comfort or safety. To mimic is a form of praise unless |

Metaphor galore. Love that second verse, I got lost in that one..."as if the printed pages of your sky need more photos to be worthy of being worn in the thoughtful pales" Even if what I think it might mean doesn't line up with what you mean, I still find meaning....smile.... Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call |
