FOREVER FALLING < !signature-->Hole in the sky, falling through it. Try to hold on, just can't do it. Angels flying, wings outspread. No use trying to save the dead. Sorrow's shadow taints the vision. Weeps, a willow of derision. All truth a lie, I'll not preach it... Hole in the sky, I can't reach it! Starlight passing, formless, falling. Echoes emptiness come calling. A dream in flight, a wish come true. My God - the light I see in you. Too fast, too free, Serenity, I must release this prayer from me. No more wishing, on martyred skies All now but black before these eyes. Demons groping by the sadness... Of a hoping turned to madness. By a longing in the calling, Of my star forever falling. Michael Anderson For all behind was dark and drear, And all before was night and fear. How many hours of night or day In those suspended pangs I lay, I could not tell; I scarcely knew If this were human breath I drew.

Such sorrow, Michael. You know I can relate. Beautiful words and flow, just as always.  *Krista Knutson* ~We are only truly lost when we have lost ourselves~ |

for some reason, the "feel" of this piece reminded me of the movie "What Dreams May Come." A sweet but tortuous journey, Michael. Wishing a sunrise unlike any other upon your darkened skies. Corinne |
