The Sky Admirer Sometimes I wish that I could find an empty land where I could stand pure in the desert dust, swim on a glass lake. I could be a serene swan or a lily, the sky my admirer. But one lone lily hears no laughter, a swan in a lake without ripples feels no touch and the sky does not admire me I admire the sky. Still, sometimes I wish that I could find an empty land that I could fill, where sweet stars fall and noble deeds grow and songs sing each to each and home is the heart. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 02-01-2001).] |

You give us the sky every time you post a poem, Martie. *S* (and I'm pretty sure that cloud just winked that the sky is a Martie admirer, too. *G*) |

Somewhere - over the rainbow perhaps? Let's both look - whoever gets there first - Throw a line out (or directions) (I'm a rare male - I ask for directions) It sounds a most lovely place |

Nicely done here Martie!!! I loved the glass lake part. A great read!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

The lily is one of my favorite flowers. A surly serene poem.  Joy Our doubts are traitors, And make us loose the good we oft might win By fearing to attempt. ~Shakespeare |
