Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-04-10 01:29 AM

Once again I find myself standing on the edge
Afraid to look down...Afraid to look back
The chasm that spreads out before me
With it's depths invaded by the Darkness
That light cannot pierce
I strain my eyes to see what lies within
Only to loose sight of the reality
That sight is indeed not possible
Unless I am willing to take the leap
Not one of faith...But one of fear
It is to be only one small step for mankind
For me it is a freefall that I cannot avoid
Whatever waits for me within the Darkness
It is now Time for me to meet
The past has cashed its ticket for Home
The future is to be my companion
Until I find myself again standing here
Alone standing into the Depths

When the morning cries and you don't know why...

...and thankfully the light does penetrate the darkness, yet once again.
Life does seem to have its cycles of Light and Darkness. It is important for us all to realize that the darkest hours come before the dawn and that the sun will rise again.

Love & Light,

Nice write Ringo

Not one of faith...But one of fear

This is the hardest leap to take
but I have been there myself

Yep, an amazing freefall for all.
Hope this one falls into the Reflections book. I'll stash it safelyin my own library for the time being.

I find myself totally overwhelmed in Open forum and so I missed all these touching writes of yours. I apologise for that but my vote now will bump you.
