(repost of a 6/00 write- I don't think I posted it here) Walking alone Through a strange woodland Two birds overhead chase in crazy aerobatics A soft breeze caresses her neck Its woody scent teases her nose A blossom petal floating on the wind presses a kiss to her cheek Bubbling brook gurgling its pleasure Bending tree branches moan above her A fallen bough displays its two limbs splayed Beds of pine needles soft beneath her feet A sapling's stump still standing erect Jack-in-the-pulpit Shows a stamen inviting She thinks: "Why, why must everything, make me think of you?" The first duty of love is to listen. ~ Paul Tillich ~ [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 02-27-2001).] |

Woodland walk a moments peace to talk with the inside oneself seeing nature and self reach of ALL I like "For al these things, honor, dishonor, pain... happen to all men. They are not the mark of a virtuous life... or lack thereof" Marcus Aurelius |

Thank you all my friends - I truly enjoy (and sometimes struggle) trying to take the POV of the opposite sex - I guess I didn't do too badly |
