nurture love.

we've got this gift of love,
but love is like a precious plant.
you can't just accept it and
leave it in the cupboard
or just think it's going to get on by itself.
you've got to keep watering it.
you've got to really look after it and nurture it.

paradise.

alone.

our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone.  it has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone.  and it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.

swing, swing.

i still get wildly enthusiastic about little things...i play with leaves. i skip down the street and run against the wind.

fire (& ice)

some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
from what I've tasted of desire
i hold with those who favor fire.
