[bodytext] => I Could, But I Most Certainly Will Not I could be that solitary oak standing stoic, full and tall in an unending meadow of flowing grasses; I could. It is possible for me to be that tenacious and singular oak on that North Atlantic rocky crag, gnarled and bent with sinuous roots reaching deep into the earth; It is possible. Were there a noble purpose for it, I have the potential within to stand alone surrounded by asphalt, concrete, glass, iron and cut stone, enduring choking haze, chemical purges and the city's deafening cacophony; There is that potential within me. But, I would much, much rather find myself warm and snuggled, deep within your forest; I would much prefer awakening in the soft glow of dawn to discover my roots hopelessly entangled with yours; I would most certainly choose the rich experience of not knowing where my leaves end and yours begin, of limbs wonderfully entwined, of sharing our nakedness in autumn, intimacy's warmth during cold winter months, the joy of birth come spring, the thrill of growth as the summer sun pours life into our soul... It would be my consuming desire to spend my days discovering more and more of you, while you discover more and more of me. I could be that singular being... It isn't what I want, but, I could... However, having been blessed with knowing you as I do, if the choice is mine to make, I most certainly will not.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
