another daylight moon dawns westward uncommon wisdom knows the way the birds sing and forgets just which way the wind blows or that anything moved through the air at all beyond the hanging on a thread of sand when reflections are shattered do we have to turn away from whatever we've placed in front of our eyes as the mirror? do we turn around and face a perceived reality? do we look at the wall beyond the reflection? or, do we just close our eyes until the moon becomes the sun and stars shine in black? palm trees kiss the sky that I've created and the water falls just two feet in front of me hands raised in supplication to whatever dayety dawns in this twilight sunrise spectrum there's the song again, coming from a place I've always known perhaps this time, I'll find the harmonies when I open my eyes and see ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven, the images in this make me sigh. Did you deliberately misspell deity? If you did it's a cool play on words. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Sven, your words always mirror such wonders that can seem so opaque to us sometimes, sweet friend, this is excellent, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

loner_23, thanks. . . Temptress, thank you. . . twice. . . and yes, thank you for the words. . . Tanya, what caffeine?? and don't tell me that it's not something that you've never done before. . . besides. . . it's good for your brain to expand like this. . . makes it much more fun to play with. . . Keth, yes, yes I did misspell "deity" on purpose. . . good catch. . . I thought that it fit better that way. . . glad that you like it. . . Noah, to mirror the opaque. . . now, there's an image. . . I'll have to play with that one for a while. . . thank you my friend. . . -------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.
