It is all there,
simplicity.
There is no door.
There is no key.
I simply cleared my thoughts
of me,
and there I stood,
smiling back at me.

So simple, now, I'm not surprised
that every thing I've known is lies.
Cursing as the sun goes down,
and yet again, when it did rise.

I shake my head in disbelief.
Remember panic turned to despair.
There never was a lack of air.
Gasping, I forgot to breathe.

You have a remarkable talent with words serenity ... I wrote a poem called 'Labyrinth' about a month ago ... I think only one person replied to it though
Yours is much better

This is a monster of a poem.  The last two lines are "classic"...  Wonderful job, serenity.

Thank you to all of the very special people of the forum...
mom...you give the best advice!

devina...a sweet sister...

Michael...master of words!

Martie the "painter" and hoot, warms my heart,and Balladeer--
with a man as clever as yourself, who needs
foreplay?

Janet Marie--right bact atcha!

Rex Allen--my buddy!

E. Santos--I thank you!

And just a note to clear things up a bit--the things I've written about are not lies--
they just didn't happen yesterday.
So thank you for tolerating my dusting off the cobwebs!  Catharsis, to say the least!
