O This is existence, this shared sky, neutral to the eye’s prism, secret symbol of life, ferried about, within and without in silent carriage. Its particles sustain in physics’ realm; heavy, without apparent weight, unscented but aromatic in earth’s mix, an essential element that cannot be decomposed. Yet all of this does not explain the air of tranquility felt in this space with you. © 2001 Corinne Bailey |

Thanks for the fresh Oxygen... I also noted in the back of my mind that O never stands alone... it takes another one of it since it wishes to be together with another O ... that's how O2 exists... and then it flies around in a pair(being a gas) wish humans can do that too... regards to you Corinne, sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 11-28-2001).] |
