you know how it is
when the tree grows inquisitive
he stretches himself afar
stretches his roots
away from the river
away and afar
then one day the river runs a new course
and the tree is left behind

time the tree found his river again

i was just watching Walk the Line with Joquain Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon...being Johnny Cash and June Carter. at the beginning of the movie...johnny cash..ok...june...who?? i knew who Johnny Cash was but i had never heard of her (as a singer/songwriter) and least of all that they were married to each other. then again...why should i?

and i felt as i watched the movie that real story for all these famous people is not what they were good at but what they loved and who they loved or didnt...just like all the rest of us...

now am sure a lot of what was in the 'movie' was romanticized dramatized even commercialized but...
i realize the 'real' story could not be that different...that all men love their women in their own way
their hard ways and their tender ways and their vocal ways and their quiet ways
even in their indifferent ways

lines from a forgotten adolescent outpouring

a little angry...
a little confused...
and forever beautiful
