Aleksandra Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I wish I had the way of a tree To shed dead leaves from me AMAZING expression Frank. What can be more said here? Nothing, it's enough , it talks by itself. What a wonderful expression. Frank I can't stop read this. Very poetical, and very powerful, and gives a special sound. I loved this Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
