a smile unremarked, unsung...
unseen amid the crowds.
is it any less for that? i ask.
and no one answers back

our secret joys and secret pains
they feel all quite the same
as any public joys and sorrows
though no one knows your name

Thanks for the smile Rambi. I doubt anyone here in the computer lab saw it, but hey... that inspired this, hackneyed as it is.

Take care,
-Tom

TWO COCOONS

I KNEW OF YOUR PRESENSE BUT THE CHANGES WERE TOO GREAT
TO WONDER
AND CHANGES THEY WERE..
TRANSFORMING US FROM CRAWL TO FLIGHT
AND WHEN THE MOMENT CAME TO ESCAPE --- WE DID AT THE SAME TIME----
THAT MOMENT TO SEE ALL OF BEAUTY PAINTED ON YOUR WINGS.
IN AWE I TRIED TO FOLLOW GATHERING STRENGTH AND PURPOSE
BUT COULD NOT- UNCOMFORTABLE; UNNATURAL;
I STOPPED AND WATCHED YOU DEPART AND SWEETLY FLUTTER- CARRIED BY THE GENTLE BREEZE
YOU GREET THE SUN AND FOLLOW THE FLOWER.
I-I MUST HIDE UNDER THE BRANCH -UNDER THIS LEAF FOR THE NIGHT
AND BECOME MEZMORIZED AS I AM DRAWN TO THE EVENING LIGHT REMEMBERING YOU.
AND OVERWHELMED WITH THE LOSS,THE KNOWLEDGE OF NEVER SEEING YOU-NOT LIKE YOU-THROW MYSELF AGAINST THE BACK PORCH LIGHT IN HOPES OF FEELING WHAT I SAW. AND FELT I DID.
A CRISP CARCASS THAT WOULDN'T
COULDN'T
LET GO OF YOUR SIGHT.
YES,LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
FOOL.
