Cleanse
Neurotron | 15 June 2004, 11:45amDestiny’s pregnant
with my fragile, unborn future
Yesterday’s trespasses are tightly sewn
I thought ; you ripped out the sutures
Tomorrow’s now a little less perfect, a little torn
And today’s still waters breed, grow stagnant.
Yet Time flows
washes warm over past misdeeds
Cleanses; as an indulgent mother
goes to work again with needle and thread
picks out the defective, destructive seeds
makes again my fallow bed
and with hope anew endows.
Tomorrow will wax brighter yet
And I will be cleansed of your debt.
The birth will be easy, the child less fragile
And I...
I will smile.

~Pye : Thank you.
~mls: I know what you mean. Didn't know I could either..actually, don't think I still can! I think Pye knows a lot more about this stuff than I do.

You're doing better than I am if you don't think you know anyhing about it... makes me wonder what you'd do when you know. :)
Really terrific, and I mean it.
