Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

QUOTE Sighhhh!!! What a place I have come to there's not one poet here but two One, presumably male other, quite likely, a female (But I'm not sure, just like you!!) One hides behind a catchy nickname the other most likely uses the real name it matters not what they choose the names they want to use they are great poets all the same ;-) Catch, you are a puzzle Shivani, an intelligent riddle still its good you came where you should HF gets richer in the middle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink2.gif))) Would someone please inform this gentleman not to attempt to initiate a conversation with me.
