her pregnant gut she chose to hide
until the day ordained to die
when all the earth did open wide
and let them out from deep inside
then those with wings who just were born
when from her deep dark womb were torn
did rise at last from fields of corn
to summon forth a new day’s morn
the waters rose and washed away
the hearts of those who could not stay
who with their deeds did dark the days
and prayers alone could not them save

Awesome. You've captured something really profound here.
oh, thanks so much, trish! don't know about profound but it again was just the words writing themselves - i just held the pen -
Wonderful, unique insights in those few powerful words, Gypsy. Let those who have eyes, see; let those who have ears, hear.....

thanks, cjc - you know, i didn't really realize what all these words were saying until after i'd posted them - there is the reference to corn fields and all of a sudden it connected with me that corn is viewed as a viable alternative fuel source - to name but one little thing - anyway, thanks so much for coming by, lady!
