Walking the Plains of the Past having lived so long before knowing I’d been taken by amour would not surprise me any more having you show at portal’s door of my shadow’s past nor to see your shadows cast aside dreams of yesteryear nor to feel your calming near it is rootbound of my green that causes me to see come dream of all of those other days as I seek beyond vast of haze midwest about me plays having discovered this long ago that I was here in flesh, still, so some hundred years or more, I know having trekked forever’s mile along planes of time coming home after awhile to that which is mine see yon house my feet ne’er tread but walked in claim, my own homestead, turning corners knowing where each footfall on the stair would creak, as lumber strong has gone weak carried through rooms recalled yes, I know them well, beloved halls paintings hung portraits smiled glassed knobs on doors held my warmth awhile not sure of when but long gone cold, seek then trunk in attic’s hold to be opened, brought on down, now see a wisp of girl in sepia’s brown smiling at recall dreaming of futures’ when this is me, my yesteryear, having traversed plains that call me back this is me, and I am near walking the plains of the past [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-21-2001).] |

but walked in claim, my own homestead, turning corners knowing where each footfall on the stair would creak, as lumber strong has gone weak I'm not sure what it is about these lines in particular but they gave me a feeling of familiar contentment. Thanks for the view. |

it is rootbound of my green that causes me to see come dream of all of those other days Ahh, and the roots travel so deep, through time, other places, but most are still the same, as we do know, as we feel. And dream? or memories? ahh, who ever knows...loved this..very gentle smile |
