What barrier, this This fragile mesh screening That denies egress to all But the tiniest of creatures A shield From the flying annoyances Offering only small protection From the wind and the rain? What barrier, this This cloth of fine wires That allows the free passage Of the sights and sounds And even aromas From one realm to another Barring only The two senses remaining? And what barrier, this This weave of metallic thread That covers your window Standing helplessly brave Before the sweep of our yearning The irresistible push That allows, finally The touch and the taste "In looking Northward, I see a light" |

Oh my, Ed...you've outdone yourself on this one. I absolutely love it. What barrier, indeed...*smile* Beautiful, my friend...  If you judge people, you have no time to love them. |

Before the sweep of our yearning The irresistible push That allows, finally The touch and the taste That's really nice, sometimes you just have to brave the elements and take a chance. Bravo wranx~ |

What barrier, this This squaring of the air That boxes in the world And turns all views Into impressionistic Bits of color Pixels of a sort In metal wire? |
