Grief escapes me, As I wade into The shallow pool. Muscles tense To relaxation- Mind goes numb. All feeling shed From my skin, Fingers tingle From sudden warmth- Eyes drift to close. This steady sensation- Must be peace… Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Gulp - skinny dipping with the everlovely devina - blast you, Marge! Look at all the havoc you caused with that post, and... and.... darn you, devina - look at all the havoc you caused with that response! Why oh why, Lord? Why did I have to be this virile man???? (Now. Is that a setup for Toerag, or what?) lol |

You thought you could sneak this one by me when I was preoccupied, didn't you. The only thing I like more than walking in the rain would be swimming at night. Though I can't recall any of my midnight swims being so, uh, stimulating...LOL Big Sigh - you know, I bet if I dig that old telescope out of the closet I could see your house from mine. Care to go swimming again tonight? Michael [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 02-23-2000).] |

Nothing like a midnight swim to show a person tranquality.....but D...if you're inviting all these people, especially a few of the more anxious guests (MIcahel, Sven, LJA and Parker) I think you better forgo the idea of peace |
