Where Shaped Clouds Dart

To run far far away if I dare When I run, why try to disappear Out of this house with never a care Lie on the grass, look upward to sky clear I don't care if shaped clouds dart around While I lie at peace on grassy dirt As I am carefree lying on ground Observing life far far away no hurt To run far far away_settle there The ocean alluringly calls Come, come my love settle near here Let the waves lap my toes one and all Come is the call of attachments dear Family alluringly invites Don't run away come stay close by here Torn emotion, spirit torture spikes Carnality leads, draws one wrong way Goodly spirit settles: peace in this place Allure of ocean, places of far away Can't fill the void in this case (Written after reading Edna St. Vincent Millay)

Hey Sara: Great poem. I enjoy lying upon the ground and pretending 2 be in a place that is exotic and exiciting, but then reality sets in and I must rise to face it (the good and bad). Have a fantastic day> Peace: Sheol
