[hometext] => A beautiful metaphor about the relationship between fear and love. You may have to read this several times to understand it completely.
[bodytext] => A whisper blows between the trees,
a sound you cannot hear,
it holds within its gentle breeze,
a love within a fear,
a fear that once the wind is gone,
the leaves will turn to grey,
and when the color fades to black,
no breath of love will stay,
So rest with me upon this branch,
and sit here without time,
for even when the beauty fades,
my distant love will shine,
and when my hidden heart returns,
to cold and blackened husk,
I'll look into your eyes and then...
my heart... will turn to dust,
so drift with me in bitter wind,
this dust shall fly once more,
and never land... my forlorn love,
upon time's empty shore.

| it's hard to explain when you love someone rather than to hurt someone, love is simply beautiful and cherishable, we fear Love because we are afraid of losing faith to someone and we might lose this wonderful feelings that we encounter during Love, Love is simply tragic and cathastropic when we lose hope to Love, nice and beautiful poetry.... |

Whew! 'Dust in the Wind is a gigantic poem -- I think I don't really understand it in the way you meant -- even though I read it about 3 times; I'm not always so quick to 'get' stuff. Anyway I LOVE these lines:
So rest with me upon this branch,
and sit here without time,
To me they are the most serene -- and I guess I took 'em literally; I couldn't help but thinking 'you' were a bird of some sort -- ethereal? but anyhow like a REAL bird, what? Regardless of my own inabilities, I am always enthralled by the elusive quality of poetry that I like. I like it when I don't understand it: it sometimes takes me YEARS -- but it's like a challenge -- all along the way: beautiful. A Challenge this. An icon. |

Wow, amazing. with a title such as this so often known, so often stated and related to a song, it's amazing that one could be so blown away by that simple title with such an expressive piece.
I simply find it to be a beautiful work. I almost can picture the trees being the hairs of a person turning from green(natural color) changing into an elderly grey and falling out into the dust you mention, and then black being the space confined within a coffin, and the love will last eternally after that. It's likely a stretch based on words, but I like it. |
