A solitary figure in the mist Surrounded by mirrors But it doesn't matter-she is blind Black roses spring up In every spot she treads For ech step brings her closer to her last Ruby blood is dripping from her hands Rusting the jealous grass at her feet It envies her freedom And loathes her for taking it for granted But she doesn't feel the emerald blades As they slice hatefully into her At her feet, she sees only clouds And above the stars are so bright She is a poet- a dreamer The forlorn wanderer, always alone As she is alone now With ruby blood dripping from her hands But-had she once visited reality, she'd have seen; She was the most beautiful angel Rising from the ashes to meet a moonlit destiny And everyone else- they were the ugly ones But poets and dreamers live only in their fancies And that's where she is now With ruby blood dripping from her hands Angering the rusty grass And coloring the clouds crimson ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

Vivid and wonderfully beyond the frame art. DB ------------------ September 30, 1659. I, poor, miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, during a dreadful storm in the offing, came ashore on this dismal unfortunate island, which I called "the Island of Despair," all the rest of the ship's company being drowned, and myself almost dead. ----Robinson Crusoe---- ==Daniel DeFoe== |
