. One Can not imagine them Unhappy With their perfect hair It is impossible To think any sky Under which they stroll Would not be blue They glide gazelles Beyond the homely plains Who disappear when they arrive And gaze with eyes That never could comprehend Why anyone would want to die . |

Huan Yi...this is extremely intriguing; I'd love it interpreted...as it is, I'm only guessing at some ideas of what it means. Then again, like a painting, the eye of the beholder is to interpret. My eyes just feel a little too foggy for this one. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

VAS, Thank you. However it would be a fraud for me to suggest that today knows what yesterday was going on about. . . Thanks again John |

This is exquisite! I'm definitely guilty of projecting what I think those of another time might have thought... this leaves me to ponder how often I've been wrong. |

suthern, T.S. Elliot was once asked what was the meaning of a poem he had written some twenty years before to which he responded that he had no idea. It's very much the same with me and my stuff except more immediate. The being that writes is quite apart from the being that works and lives from day to day as the day to day. The latter could hardly begin to understand the former which, being so often dependent on the passing mood, memory, or impression, is later hardly able to understand itself. It's enough if I later sense that in a moment something worthwhile might somehow have been written and let others see if they feel the same way. Thanks for reading. John |

beautiful. your own comment weighs more. Paint the color, write the mood background or not, won't shade it's beauty. they enhance the beauty. |
