i was once a turtle <br />but i wish i were a rabbit <br /> <br />and then i become a rabbit <br />speeding my ways <br />to the ends of the world <br /> <br />and then i got so tired <br />and sit below the tree <br />watching the clouds <br />and then i wish i were a <br />turtle again <br /> <br />back to my home that i carry <br />anywhere <br /> <br />that is it: the home is where the heart is. <br />not the wood and the steel.<br /><br />RIC S.
