Somewhere in the night
Someone will cry
Waiting for love to die

Neon lights won’t illuminate
Darkened streets where aimless souls,
Masses of flesh await
Filling little vacant holes
They won’t hesitate

Shiny diamonds of dirty glass
Sparkle once and once only
Fading in twilight fast
A little lost and lonely,
But too bright to last

So much given away too soon
Can never be retrieved
Where once begged for highest noon,
Now all are grieved
With a fainting swoon

Somewhere in the night
Someone did cry
Waiting for love to die

Ah, my friend, conceive any moment
where life lives....

You've earned it; you deserve a breathe.

I know you're tired...living in the land
of some of those who've lost; but yet,
you live!

Carpe diem!

So sad, dear J., love lives whether we are aware of it or not. Love IS.

You wrote so powerfully about the pain of the heart, as it struggles in the dark.

Love,
Margherita

CG,

This reminds me of an empty city street at night.  I feel this way when I see a rainy street with lone car lights reflected on its surface.
