The mystery unravels:
"anger is the voice of pain"
with surety of judge's gavel
(this song cannot remain the same.)


All the things
you thought corrupt
are in my heart--
that's true enough.
Each of them
I do confess,
result of desperate
loneliness.


A wedding of the grandest rite--
spawned in death of hope each night.


Yet, this time, it was not me
that dammed the river pulsing free.
You built walls--your hallowed halls
a haunting by the pace of feet.


A restless search for open door--
I understand. I, too, want more...



It's easy, now, to fall in love.
No touch of hand, just promise of
amber eyes, smile sun to me--
a glitter found amid debris.


A wanderer has found new land--
discovered joy of Understand.


A breeze he be, to pass through sieve,
in strangled breath I gasp to live.
One lucid thought in brain of dim--
this is how it is with him.


A tired bird adrift in wing--
last in line--formation's vee--
I let the strong take place of lead--
conserving but my strength to sing.

serenity-
   oh yes...you DO sing..beautifully,
   and with a loud, strong voice.  
   you've expressed some very painful
   and confusing emotions very well here.
   I hope it all works out for the best.
  
   great big hugs,
   ~vicky

the flow is fantastic, the moood dark and painful, I love the last stanza so much, the last of the vee, giving up the lead

may the leader be a fine one
while you gather your strength to sing

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking
I passed that point long ago

I felt that anger and pain! Janet picked the lines I felt established the poem's strength, and, I think the duck at the end of the V is the one that will come out of this eventually the stronger   and a   to you too, sweet serenity. Fantastic write.

Nope, I guarantee this time it was not your fault.
This stanza is particularly effective
"It's easy, now, to fall in love.
No touch of hand, just promise of
amber eyes, smile sun to me--
a glitter found amid debris."
Take care-go to sleep
