I'm fading fading away drowned by the echos of younger screams embattled by the activity that runs in circles enraged by the prospect of too much youth and embaressed by the subtleties of age I wish I was a ray of light forever young and energetic always moving through time and space yet never wasting away omnipresent in the ways no one can tell repetetive in the moment and after as well uneffected by things done or said ruined by nothing and treasured by all I could see the sun rise in the east and fall in the west as the stars emerge I could dance among the moonlight and hide among the stars at play yet though I wish, I shall never want as I grow old I want to know the things I've done I want to feel time course through me like water in a creek remember the touches I've had and lost wish away the tears the fall when no one is near and cry for the things that never were. |

Desperado, your unique imagery and insight sets you apart. I do hope you will still be able to visit after you departure, if not, you will be missed. ------------------ Michael Anderson And after-drunkeness of soul Succeeds the glory of the bowl - An idle longing night and day To dream my very life away EAP |

Des I think I needed to read this tonight...I'm feeling a bit old and tired, and now I feel better. Thanks ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

thanks you guys. oh and micheal, I was talking to nan about having the poet thing in korea next year... would be nice to get away from america and get a stamp on the good ole passport, would it not? *grin* ahh that would certainly be a unique experience. but I don't think it'll happen. but I will keep in touch, that much I can promise. I'm planning on visiting my friends in colorado after I get done with korea and hanging out with them for a few weeks, perhaps when I know when and where I'll be, I can give you a line and you can come on up and hang out with me and a few younguns (we won't be that young at that time though *grin*). if not, I'll see about comming in for the next get together that I can make. |
