Here, you’ve placed upon me The colors of the sea So backwards, I regress On the floor there is a dress The sun shed the sea Like a gown over me I lay, my ears are roaring The sun peaks through, adoring My turn to clothe the sun A new day has now begun The moon sits there so cold The sea is just as old And to the moon she must abide For he guides the ocean tide The sea, discarded gown The moon could never drown Neither offers, nor takes the dress And backwards, I regress In chaos, before the forming A sense of warmth, there is swarming And I was all of these and none The day of birth has now begun So many sins yet to confess And now may I progress Laying softly upon the beach With heaven’s bodies there to teach You and I in this new world Where chaos finds us hurled And from heaven we are clothed Now in union, now betrothed [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 03-03-2001).] |

Your words are very well said. Regress, regress, then progress after confess. Que maravilloso! Your uses of the sun, sea, moon, gown, etc. allow for a subdued approach to attack a scary conflict. In the end all is well. nice |

Laying softly upon the beach With heaven’s bodies there to teach You and I in this new world Where chaos finds us hurled And from heaven we are clothed Now in union, now betrothed Oh Walty, give me more! puhleaseeee  I love it m'friend into my library it goes Maree I may know the word, but not say it I may know the truth, but not face it I may hear a sound, a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head, indifferent.
