Title: Yearn [url=http://www.susanburnstine.com]Susan's website[/url] [url=http://outafocus.my-expressions.com/]Susan's blog[/url] excerpt from: A Dream Within A Dream By Edgar Allan Poe I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
