Wall Be Damned In abysmal despair and desperation I strike fists against this wall so damned invisible to others which keeps me from you to my knees I crumple, I fall all the times I behold you there, here, see me reach out all I can keep to myself is the look from your eyes ~ am I in your heart still realized… they are looking right past me they do not see me through the barrier, you are there, I am here opposite sides of this invisible wall cannot you hear my soundless call but if I were to speak to you and watch you nod your head I know you would hear me, sense the utterance of my heart and again believe I would not depart but wonder do I if you recall the life we had before oh would you walk on through this unperceivable door and come to me once more recapture my heart you've already done when you first took me under the sun those memories do not fade at night tho you were taken then by the blight here you are now, within my sight your garb is of the then now gone mine is of the here and now yet I know you must perceive me somehow and travel 'cross this plane of time to once again become one, and mine oh damn this invisible wall ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 8 July 2000 Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

"your garb is of the then now gone mine is of the here and now yet I know you must perceive me somehow and travel 'cross this plane of time to once again become one, and mine" Oh, I just love how you've phrased the lines above Sunshine ... just struck me as I read, and I had to read them aloud I enjoyed the whole poem tremendously!Best wishes, /Kit |

Superb Sunshine. . . We do all indeed have that wall that we build around us. . . hiding behind it. . . it takes someone special to help us come out and break down that wall. . . Wonderful. . . an excellent tangent from what you've been talking about before. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
