[hometext] => the questions that need to be asked, if not answered...
[bodytext] => in this Autumn of our years, the twilight of our days, will we face all of our fears, or retreat into its haze? can we cling to the branches, or abscise with some grace; curl into the mysteries, or reveal our true face? the seasons of our youth, no-one saw the end; when it whispered in our bones, we would just pretend. we revelled in our Spring, tasted fruits of every tree, but now the faded blossoms echo what is meant to be I knew you in your Summer, the heat and sweat and sin; now the dry, insistent zephyrs are harsh against our skin. will our Winters linger longer? will the winds be sheer and cold; what seasons can we plunder, when we suddenly grow old?
