just like any other man <br />let me put it this way, we all want <br />to wake up one morning wanting to see <br />a brighter sun <br /> <br />a warm day, a bright morning <br />a gentle sunshine landing peacefully on our cheeks <br />our eyelashes waving a warm welcome too <br />our eyes glistening with hope <br />to the wings and songs of birds <br />perching and then flying away <br /> <br />just like all men we want peace and harmony <br />of leaves clinging like stalks on a bark <br />like vines steadily climbing on trunks <br /> <br />we want blue clouds well placed in the skies <br />and mountains settled in their proper places <br />and sea as vast and wide as our eyes can reach to see <br /> <br />yet like ordinary happenings these things are not really true <br />there are driftings, there are inevitable flows <br />going nowhere, and then gone, and then we sit idly <br />on the shore now anchored on the truth <br /> <br />we stare to a horizon. we expect nothing.<br /><br />RIC S.
