Eyes that see through me And hands of human clay Ears that hold my plea And mouth upon I pray These are the things I entreat Inside my mind, if not portray I’m waiting for the light to show Waiting, for the afterglow Make me whole and entire With warmth and arms around Making our own little fire Listen to the peaceful sound This, my life, you inspire For this, I won’t come back down I’m waiting for the love to grow Waiting, for the afterglow Don’t let me fall from so high And only these things, bring So that I forget how it was to cry And the pendulum starts to swing Look only into my colorless eyes They only mean everything I’m waiting for time to overthrow Waiting, for the afterglow |

This is poem is very lovely, I need an afterglow too! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

I have no words. I'm just sitting here in awe. "Often the test of courage is not to die but to live" |
