The Backstairs of Time (#2) On this wind-pierced Night, of glowering clouds and thunderous Winter fire, retreating through these scattered hills as a strange-fine mix of frost and lightning, one thinks… of all things lost or left forlorn, beyond some final, unnamed river of the soul, like a fog-bound lighthouse calling in the night, mid waves of unrequited love shattering on a mystic shore of grand regrets... to which we can never return, or all our unsettled hopes and unreachable dreams, stumbling forever… down the backstairs of Time! |

This has wonderful insight to the plight of many. May your future keep you so entranced that your yesterdays are just a fleeting remembrance. My credit's not Bad...I'm just protecting myself from identity theft! |

Very beautifully written, dear Bruce. There is a sense of loss, but I believe we are given the opportunity to continue what we have begun weaving here ... in one way or another. Forever ... moving ahead, not backwards. We are in a permanent NOW. love Margherita |

beautiful poem. beautiful. have a good night, dear Bruce. Who is knocking the front door of time? Hope runs to answer oh, "it is you, Tomorrow, Today called you to come to fix the backstair that Yesterday damaged accidentally." |

Secondhanddreampoet, For some reason, this wasn't as clear to me as your usual work. Bobby |
