This new season awakens me From the cold Welcomes me into its warmth I find myself Brushing the humus Of hubris from my tatters Shuffling through the debris Of my wintry solitude Kicking detritus From the threshold of my Hermitage And emerge once again Blinking Into the light of a new age Appraising how the landscape Has changed Looking for familiar landmarks When finally, I step out Toward what lay ahead I glance back to my old refuge And wonder How much of myself I’d left behind This time [This message has been edited by wranx (03-24-2003 08:35 AM).] |

Ed, I was thinking as I was reading about you talking about your fingers getting so cold that you could hardly type. Now that it's getting warmer, you can post more of your excellent poetry. Can't you? I hope so.  Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Ed - this is a song of spring . . . rebirth - but sadly - yes - we do leave behind some things that we miss - but we just HAVE to - you know? Yes - of course you do. This is just what I needed TY xxoo |

Dangnation, you're good! ---Correction! Dangnation you're "great"! Loved this one, dear Poet! I especially enjoyed the following lines: "Brushing the humus Of hubris from my tatters." Pure Wranx! Peace & Light, EA |

Stepping out of the hermit's cocoon again? I love the way you rebirth thoughts in unique spring metaphors. |

How much of myself I’d left behind This time Will some see this as sad i see this as a necessary parting, a purge of things past..sounds good to me at least but then..i'm insane or sane hard to tell which in this world..i like eggs. btw say hi to Bri haven't seen him in ages take care |

If you manage to leave behind about the same amount as you built, you're doing pretty well....You never leave quite enough, but it's a good goal..... All a matter of perspective, eh? You make a man's pictures the way a man should make 'em -- strong and lean, with controlled muscle behind 'em. I admire that. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I find myself Brushing the humus Of hubris from my tatters Shuffling through the debris Of my wintry solitude Kicking detritus From the threshold of my Hermitage The ending wonder brings sadness... but whatever was left behind, whatever was sacrificed in this going forth... it certainly doesn't include your talent. *G* This is magnificent. *S* |
