WANT NOT ~a fable-ish poem~ domestic vine traveling from the source which feeds it's strength and washes it's thirsts independently seeks for reasons unfounded a destination foreign far from where it's grounded tired of entrapment behind palisade pickets the vine longs to be lost amongst the wild thickets in route it discovers little is as it seemed what it had wasn't good enough what it wants is but a dream once warm and protected it now withers and dries roots bared and stems stripped the vine curls up and dies the moral of this story: be happy with what you've got because the lure of new soil may be worth change - or not McLean January 24, 2004 |

 (smiles) Yay! (angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, I absolutely agree as I believe one can find the soil to feel just like home after a while just staying there, and to spread wings and expand roots while not taking off so quickly leads to great satisfying happiness! (sigh) I love it, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet McLean, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

McLean, I had to come back to your fable! Iliked it as well the second time as the first. (I'd like to put it in my library...) I re-read you response to me on my poem about Lorna that indicated you had to grab a kleenex. I recently shared a kleenex story in prose about a young friend of mine that I have shared with no one before. Thought you might chance it, if you like tear jerkers) Have a terrific day! ~Sadelite~ |

sorta like if the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, doesn't that just mean you have to mow more often?  seriously, great 'fable-ish' write |
