    yes, I see that. and yet I don't think it improves my original 'HE'. I tried to fancy up the font, but ADMIN refuses to improve the font situation around here, so my options were limited. ;-) pleased to meet you mr. cogs.

    beautiful poem, riesa. inspired me to write the following:

    one day i asked my friends 'what are you?'
    another day they replied 'nothing new'
    another day came and went away
    yet another and my friends said 'goodbye'

    one cold evening while lying half-asleep
    i muttered to my dreams 'how deep?'
    my dreams took me by the hand and led me
    to the place where people never sleep

    one summer afternoon i wondered if she loved me
    the trees seemed to know and swayed nodding
    my simple love floated high in the breeze
    ignorant of dark storms conspiring


    turned down by everyone i turn to the mirror
    burnt out and fading fast i try and gasp harder
    to catch a glimpse of my cloistered single soul
    but the mirror betrays and shows me someone else.

    it's a really nice poem, you and I are a lot alike..
