    Against Autumn skies
    The colour of pain blends with
    Tears that fall like leaves
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy

    Against autumn skies
    Oak leaves blaze orange and yellow
    Vivid foliage

    Two great haiku came up at the same time, so I shall respond to both (sorry, I just could not resist):

    Tears that fall like leaves
    hot, salty, undiluted
    till my heart is purged

    Vivid foliage
    springs up from ancient snowfields
    I feel Spring's embrace
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    Vivid foliage
    springs up from ancient snowfields
    I feel Spring's embrace
    I'll try out both then!

    Till my heart is purged,
    deliverance from the vile
    world, is not to be.


    And...
    I feel Spring's embrace;
    running from this fragrant-fresh
    world, is not to be.

    world is not to be
    eaten, but lived in. Instead
    I'm going to eat pets

    I’m going to eat
    Pets that I have raised from babes
    That’s life on a farm

    Exclamation

    That’s life on a farm,
    Early to rise, early sleep--
    A Country Boy, yes...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    A country boy, yes
    Torn from his home on the farm
    City life awaits
    FRANCISCO
    For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
    And I am sick at heart.

    City life awaits
    Traffic, noise, crowded subways
    Hectic fast paced world

    (i'm no lover of the city)

    Cool

    Hectic fast paced world
    Full of opportunity;
    I smell the roses.

    I smell the roses
    Filling the air with sweet scent
    Decieved by the thorns

    cecieved by the thorns
    I dared not touch the flower
    my fear was my loss

  14. #8639

    Cool

    My fear was my loss,
    My hope in life is my gain;
    May all be well now!

    because I have shared with you
    my deepest secrets
