from the attic, for SOLSTICE SON  
----------------------------------------------------


so afraid in this cold
cold
world

i wish for the warmth
of security

the simplicity
of a rocking chair

a warm embrace
and a quiet song

"hush little baby
dont you cry..."

as a child
as a baby
let me be

until the lonely tears
go far away

until the cold
cold
world
is warm again

safe

inside mother's embrace

Interesting, you talk about the cold cold world, and being lonely, and leave me feeling all peaceful and warm.  How did you do that?

oh my..how many times have I wanted to curl up in a fetal position and shut out the world..very touching piece dg..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

PEG..shutting out the world would be a good thing at times..at least, well, mentally..since we cant really do that literally!
