Serpens Took off glasses, opened ancient book Closing eyes, let fated hook Find this storied before, of then, in stars Showing forces that just are Birthed before a Zodiac was known And those who were they In the where of back when ~ They, who wrote too soon, and Missed the bite, the healing signs…. Of there, and then No sign in Zodiac, not even when… Now to learn of once white crows Affairs of two hearts not to be known Centaurs caring for babes in hold The reason for serums And wrestler of serpents, all of this In stories old The gods of then with powers shown Bade fairly quick when tempers thrown Into a curve of quick revenge To know, then strike, no consequence, Then, the gods that forbade, forgave, eye For eye Before the truths of One were nigh In the myths and ologies Were actions swift, then Apologies Restorations of dead to life All found in stars that still blink Curiosity may be one’s strife So look to the heavens, stop, and think. ~*~ For research, see http://www.astronomical.org/constellations/ser.html http://einstein.stcloudstate.edu/Dome/constellns/oph.html [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-02-2003 08:02 PM).] |

Restorations of dead to life All found in stars that still blink Curiosity may be one’s strife So look to the heavens, stop, and think Well, my dear, how appropriate to the dilemmas I have been facing. I hate unknown of late. So sick of not knowing. For what is to be my fate-- Born of seeds, I'm sewing?? Or is it all written in the stars? I want answers...all part of the easy way out, I suppose. Oh stars, stars in the sky Breathe sigh...answer my why For honesty bring might Revealed in stars tonight. Curiosity does bring stife. So I ask to get a reply... Evaluate, assess the why. You are making me think in verses, no less! Incredible write! Patricia |

Thanks everyone...this all started because Mars is so close, and has gotten me into a constant state of star and planet gazing... |

Glad I didn't miss this one. I was humbled during the 'blackout of 2003' to find myself on a beach at night... watched the moon rise over the still lake waters.. and see why Mars is indeed called the 'red planet'. Very well done hip-sis! ~Hugs and I'm off shortly~ ~The breeze that kissed you on the face, |
