Don't dare me to not undo everything I think is done. Tell me an eclipse is born and watch me stare into the sun. Don't tell me that fire's hot-- don't pretend we all forgot the puff of skin the rise of yearn (strange, there's water within burn) something in us wants to live-- desperate flames in bite of bark. Something in us begs a spark and laughter crackles in the dark mockery of moon in shine-- lunar lakes of lullabye something in us hugs "goodbye"-- as we kiss "hello". something in us, begs to leave... as we dig our roots down deep, fingering the Earth in keep knowing we're ephemeral-- we build towers knowing all will crumble to the lace of vines... as something in us, prays for time. And something in us, weeps. |

K - I do know this one too: we're ephemeral-- we build towers knowing all will crumble to the lace of vines... Not always . . . not always - but the building - a slice of life my sis - to be savored . . . this is lovely, wrenching but beautiful - as always bringing me to your heart and MAKING me feel - just like you were meant to - just like you do . . . xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (03-28-2003 02:54 AM).] |

wow This is an amazing piece... I love the way you play around with words and ideas, its very unique and wonderful "Tell me an eclipse is born and watch me stare into the sun. Don't tell me that fire's hot-- don't pretend we all forgot the puff of skin the rise of yearn (strange, there's water within burn)" "more than yesterday, less than tomorrow, i love you" |

Serenity~ Now ... you really didn't expect me to stay off this one, did ya'? 'something in us, begs to leave... as we dig our roots down deep, fingering the Earth in keep knowing we're ephemeral-- we build towers knowing all will crumble to the lace of vines... as something in us, prays for time. And something in us, weeps.' STUNNING~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

(big hugggsssssss) Yes...something in us always weeps, and I think it will be this way in times like these for so very long, until the water inundates to the point the burn can't be felt! (sad sigh) This is so well written, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
