words were enough to bridge the distance then speaking in certainties that were only ever dreams still, i miss mckuen wrapped within your voice the whisper of dreams over the choke of realities we will never share that black sand embrace beneath the lion's gaze and i will never know the joy of waking on my left to the light of aotearoa's sun and your smile and i find once more that I am drifting Are we etched in stone or scratched in the sand waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land? ~ The Stone Roses |

Lovely writing. I have to agree with Midnitesun's logic, though -- that's the real lotus. |

Umm... The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

Whew..this one almost made the ice queen cry...because it is that sad and wonderful at the same time. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
