No, worddancer, I won't change it any more. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it so much. It was an exercise, really - start with a completely blank mind, and see what happens. This is the complete opposite of my normal approach, which is to do a lot of pretty serious thinking before I begin to put pen to paper - so it's good for me. Pushes my envelope a little. It's risky, but also fun to see if my subconscious eventually turns something up - and if so, what! For a while I thought about chopping out some of the earlier verses so I could cut to the chase more quickly, but when I had a closer look at it, I saw it was all very organically bound, and not very easy at all...so I just decided to leave it alone, as you suggest.

Thank you Stephen For considering my plea.

Such visual, artist, inspirational visions; pencils and paint are jumping out of their containers...; me first, no me!
