I soar like an eagle when my days are filled with you wind drifted and the sunshine in my eyes I enfold the warmth which you transport floating, you carry me away to tomorrow but I spin captured in the whirlwind of your absence I'm whisked suddenly taken back to yesterday where the birds have already sung the sun has shone and the moon dull, tedious where waves upon cold shores are powerless My flight listless I am of concrete come back…… … lift me. Angel of Darkness 2000 My grief lies onward and my joy behind (Shakespeare) |

Excellent M - I really like this one. It screams emancipation ( don't know if that's the right spelling) but ever so softly. Well done. |

Wonderful writing, DA. One of your best!!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
