Purgatorial Incarceration

0 posted 1999-08-06 12:59 PM


A spiral cone of silence,
threatens to deafen me.
All alone,
I feel crowded.
Oppressed by my very freedom,
I decline to choose,
yet that is my choice.
Blinded by feelings,
I may never understand.
I see a whirling pool of confusion,
roiling beneath my feet.
It tries to pull me under,
to make my control of nothing,
whither away...
Into the final emptiness,
of everything pure.

------------------
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars.
-Unknown-
So let the sun beat down upon my face,
It's warmth will dry my tears.

Boy have times changed   Hope you and the family are enjoying your summer!

smile...

that juxtaposition of polarities, so delicately precise (good description of your work, btw--delicately precise)

(Didn't you write a double Helix too?)

"Oppressed by my very freedom,
I decline to choose,
yet that is my choice."

nodding

I remember somebody telling me once that not choosing was a choice in itself.

(Seems like "somebody" learned from experience, huh?)

*hugs you*

I thought I'd look for archive treasure, and seeking, I have found. *smile*
