    a running lion
    born free

    born to rise
    born free
    taut limbs sprung

    caught under snow
    a limb per dream
    shuffling

    and they became smoke in the clouds

    an empty water bottle
    snow falls on the lake

    snow fell and settled
    the sky was left empty above
    picture a picture



    These two go with the first, same morning and are pictures of pictures.

    my footsteps in the snow

    green wind

    umbrella to share
    wait for rain to return
    winter clouds

    life in a cup
    dripping and fallen
    wooden chair

    ripped up application
    running shoes hung up
    shoveling the sidewalk

    I wanted to find out when the Cherry Blossom run is held, and I went to the site, and it's filled up already. I've been thinking of this event (April 2nd) since June 2005. Alas, alas, alas. Oh well. I found out if I volunteer at the event this year then I get an automatic entrance into next year, so that's what I'm doing. At least I still get a free t-shirt :)

    I.
    the blue skies
    anticipating
    Love to redeem

    II.
    roses hanging above
    the doorway to Life's chamber
    bring Hope from sorrow

    III.
    Time ravages women's souls
    By forcing them to wait in darkness
    Until Love grips their Being

    IIII.
    I can write
    poetry
    all day Long
    i'm a thief... and a liar...

    see Ed's church?--he's breathing fire.....

    love ravages the soul of Delta Blues

    too busy to turn on the music
    silent blues silence

    a man's eyes smile
    behind fox tail anorak
    Blow Out and first snow

    I just can't get those words out "taking smoke with him." It's so bluesy. I love it! Smiling eyes are nice, too, of course :D
