obscured vision

0 posted 2001-12-06 12:46 PM



I feel it seeping through,
waiting and watching for truth...
The light slowly dies away,
its last stand before the dark.

I watch it encompass all,
coating my senses like a mist...
A glimmer of myself awakens,
only able to show in the night.

I reach out my life line,
spreading to all things gone...
The rush of blood flows freely,
a tease of living against my veins.

I taste the darkness,
letting it saturate my mind...
A glimpse of magical wonder,
more powerful then spoken words.

I flow through its richness,
leaving behind all but this darkness...
The rising power of creation,
that can last for only so long.

I surrender to this fleatingness,
knowing that my time will come...
A sense that comes with first light,
as the dark becomes still and dies away.

“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

I know Im not perfect but I can smile
& I hope that you c this heart behind my tired eyes

I really love the way you used the light images throughout this piece:

- "The light slowly dies away,/its last stand before the dark."
- "only able to show in the night."
- "I taste the darkness"
- "leaving behind all but this darkness..."
- "A sense that comes with first light"

These images really put the reader into the emotion full force.  Nice work with this, Tiff.  Beautiful piece, and I enjoyed it very much.

I can't wait to read more, hopefully soon!

it went straight over my head but most things tend to do that.
Never the less it's powerful and very cool.

Tiffer, tiffer, tiffer...This one made me shiver...(NOT meant to rhyme!) I loooved the vague imagery in this. It made me feel as if I were standing, tasting the darkness too..a powerful feeling, it was it was.
Much love to you, dearie.
