Tell me how your garden grows greener on the other side back in days of crueler worlds the relentless flow of consumers it was thought some cosmic purpose existed in the power of the purse persisted in sickly stuggles for brighter days consisted of slate grey skies in sunnier times and weekends at home with wounds to lick back in the days of larger worlds when distances registered longer and words had value on paper. but then cellulose fibres collapse libraries are ruefully pillaged contents sorrowfully crumble as visual memories do with age and inexorable needs advance with fresher eyes back in the days of a world where I was created for a purpose which I will never know tell me how a garden grows greener on the other side.

Layered this with metaphors and symbolism, and stuck rods of thought throughout...you whisked me back to the 60's, 70's, brought me through the 80's in a wink, passed by the 90's like they weren't even there...and brought me into the 21st century as if I had standing next to Rod Serling... I think I'm more inclined to see if I can make my own side of the fence grow greener in it's blades, now, than I am to explore to see if it is better on the other side...visit, perhaps, but will rest content taking care of all my own, of which I own naught...it is only here on a temporary lease, y'know... Thank you Ecrivan. I so enjoy your writings. |

Thanks Karilea, Lately reinterpreting quotes, expressions and proverbs, when at my 9 to 5 thing would be ingredients for any modern poet today...somehow see truths in them that make those statements all that more valuable...your feedback is touching and yes best to take care of our own lot in life first. Happy Mother's Day  [This message has been edited by ecrivan (05-11-2003 10:42 AM).] |
