you want the sea to have waves <br />and you say that they are more true that way <br />or the leaves to have the wind beside it <br />or the skies to have clouds <br /> <br />how i wish however to have crystal clear seas <br />leaves so still as though they only have the sun as companion <br />clear skies <br />undisturbed blue <br /> <br />do you think that there is something wrong with all these? <br />i know you will leave me with a blunt answer <br /> <br />but let me tell you <br />crystals are virtues of the sea before it was disturbed <br />clear skies have always been peaceful <br />and leaves have always wanted the solitude without the wind<br /><br />RIC S.
