Cacophany of random thought be still I thee command . A jury for the moment bought at cost of tremored hand . Confusion of a single voice for now is much preferred , and lends illusion of a choice not found in myriad words . A moments silence purchased dear your strident tones to quell , may draw me close to what I fear shall be another hell . Though faint they still assail of me to mock these words denial , for it is I and never thee that stands again on trial . Arrest these self condemning doubts defend me for these hours . Attested to by countenence instilled or spirit's power . For now I shall accredit thee with but slight influence. A statement whose validity I've tried at my expense . The multitude at last obey their fiery tongues ensconced too soon begins another day 'ere I'll be judged a'nonce . |

Doc, I read poetry aloud, for the most part, and this piece of writing sounds superb. The meter, the subtle assonance, the brilliant discourse...it's quite lovely. Thank you. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
