Look for yourself
among all those clay idols.
Shape them with your own hands.
Sit down
together with your stillness' partner.
Change love from your inside.
Find yourself
in the hanging gardens
of your own paradise.
And face up to
-fearless-
the rest of the day.

Hi Chema ~

This is a lovely reminder of the value of tranquility and maintaining your own, inner peace.

Thank you very much for your opinion, lyzzytysh

You're welcome, Chema... learning for yourself who you are cannot be overmeasured... and, of course, I mean the universal "you" when I say that.

* I've managed to do a 'double-negative' there... hopefully, I've said what I meant . This may be one of those times when I should just reconstruct my comment .

I know lizzytysh. But this has happen because you wrote to fast.

Hi Chema ~

As long as you understood what I meant... did you ?


~ Lizzy

i love these lines-

'Look for yourself
among all those clay idols.'

and

'Find yourself
in the hanging gardens
of your own paradise.'

Yes, for me, too, Woody, those lines. Adam should resonate with this poem... which is not to suggest that Leonard is a clay idol ~ that, he is not .

Of my last post: to = too = joke

Ahhhh... you, 2, eh ? I don't always get those really subtle ones .
