I was here once where you are This world the oasis in the desert Is it all lost to me or can i be redeemed at the bottom of the dark cold sea I see the eyes of those around me they speak of days i will not see Of the love i can not feel With the heart that no longer beats I stand high in my tower of glass looking down upon my saviours those which i have took under my wing Why can i not see their faces on the night The deaths of those around me i see the twisted faces come to me in my dreams all those who have suffered at my hands Come to me haunting the dreams i see How the nights have grown so cold without my eyes upon them i know not How the young babe in the cot is blue Then little life snuffed out like a candle in the breeze I am untouchable on mountain top yet i fear that my memory fades rapidly when belief is threatened by lost hope And i am merely Notable only for my abscence |

Walter, I feel so much sorrow here. I hope you are ok. Very deep and touching words. I have to add, that final line, I have felt they way so often. But I think its emotions speaking, and hopefully not reality. Take care Catalinamoon |

each days dawn I come here hoping to catch a glimpse of you in the dark searching for your word in the shadows for it is here I have seen your heart though the darkness is your home by your words, all to witness your light your poetry your gift by its grace you shine on darkest night silence broken given voice by your verse break down walls, break chains rhyme and lyric to free you from life's curse notable for much more than your absence you are poet, kind soul, friend never stop believing or lose hope by your dreams ... into the light you will ascend What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly ~LaoTzeTao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Walter, I just reread this poem, and I think it is so special it needs to be at the front page again so everyone can see it. Hope all is ok. |
