So from the prison of denial the monster, love, escaped and sat beneath a lonesome tree in plot of plan of future moves. This took a time, the longest time, by standards set and known by those who walked the trail and laid down signs and symbols. Perhaps they blew away or sunk into the sand and I know they didn’t shout and scream as a means of being heard and so that lithe escapee stayed rooted to the spot. Love starved, you see, just like me amidst blueprints, maps, and doodles because every way it thought to go led to the unknown. The tree grew and prospered, the escapee shrivelled, died, and so be careful one and all … don’t sit beneath a tree! Helen / 8 April 2010 |

Thank you both so much. The meaning? Well, maybe just that love should act and not ... die in the planning.  Helen |
