I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
from "The Waking" by Theodore Roethke
I hope you are all writing and reading as often as humanly possible. This is a collection of all my favorite poems by famous poets, my friends, and myself. I also have really great links that I'm trying to put on a page. I should soon have paintings to go with poems and characters, for your viewing enjoyment. Slan.

Faerequeen's Homepage"...most human beings live as if in a dim cave. We are chained, he says, and facing a blank wall, with a fire at our backs. All we see are flickering shadows playing across the cave wall, and this we take to be reality. Only if we learn to turn away from the wall and the shadows, and escape from the cave, can we hope to see the true light of reality." ~*~Plato's Theory of Ideas~*~ Plato, by Paul Strathern
