Each fleeting thought of conciousness With my heart carved in Wood Beats deeper now into my veins Asks to be understood Each leaf that flutters to Earth's skin Each hair that leaves my head Though left neglected on the floor Will soon rise from the dead An ocean breeze with salty noise The hard sand flecked with foam The peace and chaos fill the waves I wish it for my home The house reeks of hypocrisy Confused and rotting flow'rs Beasts fight for Silver Mud and for Imaginary pow'rs A white carnation tipped with red Rests in a violet vase The sunlight Immortality The cool pure water Grace An endless field of wheat and grass The quiet pouring rain Brings water to the Ocean Grove And with it ends all pain In Ocean Grove near fountain deep With water diamond clear A Dragon and a Tiger drink Grow younger every year They move aside for me to drink A gentle loving move The Water is for everyone Tonight I shall improve Though bitter Water comes to me I drink its stinging stem For this is what I've always been And this is what I am |

for some reason. . . this reminds me of a Dali painting. . . the sudden changes of scene. . . dream-like. . . but yet, awake. . . welcome. . . for a first post, this needs to be seen more. . .  -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
