[hometext] => 'Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.' -- William Blake (1757-1827)
[bodytext] => I am like the falling leaves Rounding left and right Spinning in the fickle breeze Reaching for the light The Voice of Silence speaks to me Of incarnations passed Of holy strength and mercy lost Beneath deception iron-cast You were of a different mold The truth all you could see Its cruel shadow scarred your soul I thought, "Better you than me." The truth is something I could never bring myself to bear, And all the things that made me free Were never truly there For I am like the falling leaves Aimlessly in flight, Herald of the coming freeze, Fearful of the night The Voice of Silence speaks to me Of poisoned words and minds, Of crystalline resistance, Of bravery in binds, Still, I am, like the falling leaves When all is said and done. Faithful in excess degrees Adrift beneath the sun [comments] => 2 [counter] => 130 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Aspirant [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
