One day I stood in the far expanses
of a green meadow and wondered
which I preferred
the green, luscious grasses or the infinite blue skyHow is one to choose?
How is one supposed to reach the height of the sky?Here, with my body planted solidly in the earth
I may lie and close my eyes
and try to forget that the sky exists
while the earth cradles my fragile bodyBut I feel the warmth shining down upon me
and I know that the beauty of the meadow
will not last my lifetime
for in winter, when I have grown strong,
snow will fall in torrents and cover me
in darkness and coldEven while my body will have been well rested and nourished from the earth,
the snow will pile upon my chest, suffocating me, holding me down
then the sky will be beyond my reach
a distant memory of freedom will linger in my mind
as I breath my last breath

That was great Smokey.
I liked it very much indeed.
I can picture it.
I haven't lay down on the grass for a while now.
Haven't looked at the sky.
There is something both soothing and ominous about it.
Or at least thats how it seems to me
Though I may not be the best judge at the moment...
I am so very glad you came back to us :-)
