The Art of Being The mind whispers strings of beaded mantras counted as prayers on rosaries learned from his song-lessons, teachings of the art of clear vision - a practice of delving from self to know the ache of loss in others, to let rain cleansing, benevolent tears. This is where we find purpose. I never saw him, truly, clearly, a flash of a green in periphery’s glance, still, I hold his teachings as sword and shield, strength against death and sun-lit days gone black. © 2003 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (04-08-2003 10:04 PM).] |

I never saw you, truly, clearly, a grassy-green gaze turned in sideways glance, still, I hold your teachings as sword and shield, defense against death and darkened sun-lit days, to find the place where strength lies. ~*~ The whole poem is going in my library, Corinne...but this struck me exceptionally hard...for several reasons, but all for love. Thank you, my friend...  Karilea - If I whisper, will you listen?...[This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-08-2003 05:11 PM).] |
