the depth and the form, the depth and the shape Explanation: welcome then begin coalescing with the wrecking call of the sirens founder in the current of non-reality recline in the depth and suddenly upon the form dance the dissolute dance of amnesiac sea grasses suddenly upon the shape Sorry! I write poetry... couldn't help myself. I think this may refer, allegorically, to depth or meaning and form or shape. |

nadir / zenith Explanation: often used in poetry - a starter for 10 anyway! These will fit if you tweak them a bit. Good luck -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2006-10-16 06:17:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- nadir = the depths either physically or emotionally zenith = the opposite you can make the nadir the 'foundation' of the unreal or ephemeral and the zenith the emotional peak on which your forgetful weeds trip their light fantastic ;-) |
