I can't explain, but
Something about those fluttering leaves
So shiny- they wink at me from the trees
so tall
they swallow the sky
Except where it peeps through the chinks in the armor, like a naughty child
Something I can't explain, but it lifts deep in me and
bursts
to swirl out and join the rest in harmony
And the whole world gleaming like a perfect emerald
Dotted with turquoise
And wreathed with birdsong-
Something I don't understand
and I can't come back
But I wouldn't trade this ever
Not for all the gems in Africa

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
