Of North how can I let go roots run too deep where tears are an empty rain with no stopping in sight my thoughts are so green bent almost to a break playing in a garden of thorns behind I see the bold reds and pinks and all I can feel is grey lost is the true direction of north planted by the moon rings spring jumped too quickly to winter no warmth to soothe the cold missing is a misery not to share so I tend this silent secret garden alone in the chimed echo of ache sound struck with a velvet hammer life goes on in a snails crawl the silver trail as testament of stems too tender to grasp walls going on and going no where just some words cut out |

This is my third trip back here to try to find the right quote and a pithy comment. I give up. This doesn't need my thoughts to be great writing. [This message has been edited by icebox (03-20-2006 03:23 PM).] |

"the silver trail as testament of stems too tender to grasp walls going on and going no where" you just defined the pain of futility sigh how can sadness be so beautiful? |

"planted by the moon rings" I like that one Helen. Long time since I've been around, but its nice to see some things are still unchanged. If you're not yourself, then there is no you. |
