And it says "I burn."<BR/>But say with what degree of heat.<BR/>Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.<BR/>Use language we can comprehend.<BR/>Tell us what elements you blend. <BR/><BR/>It gives us strangely little aid,<BR/>But does tell something in the end.<BR/>And steadfast as Keats' Eremite,<BR/>Not even stooping from its sphere,<BR/>It asks a little of us here.<BR/>It asks of us a certain height,<BR/>So when at times the mob is swayed<BR/>To carry praise or blame too far,<BR/>We may choose something like a star<BR/>To stay our minds on and be staid.Niciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894480983839855296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30776217.post-23274625097496242902008-02-04T16:30:00.000-05:002008-02-04T16:30:00.000-05:00I got some insecurities that need to roost!
