Upon the crystalized snow. The scene is refreshing, Beautifully unique. For who can resist a stop To gaze upon Nature When she works her charm at best, Wedged within the few hours Where mankind gives destruction a rest. It's times like these That bring back your spirit, Your hands back into my hair. Your smell envelopes me And it seems to run through my veins. Your eyes are all I see. Standing in front of the window, Gazing dreamily down below At the perfect, unhatched chance To chase you through the snow. Tearing outside in only my gown I splash into the snow And bathe with you in the stream of light Beneath the web of stars. I turn to you... Turning where? To who and who was there? Your face fades away Like the Chesire Cat, Waxing and waning, it sways. Your ghost still comes to see me, Though haunt is a horrid word. Leading me to wonderful things, Playfully absurd. Is it possible to fall in love With a ghost, could that be right? Yet there's no mistake, Strangely enough, I love your ghost with might. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. --Chang Tzu [This message has been edited by KoKo (02-16-2003 05:20 AM).] |

Thank you all for extremely kind words I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Another awesome poem exhibited here.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
