Cracked pavement and broken back face up watching scattered feathers spiral down like snowflakes in pursuit of one who flew too high Far from vacant eyes into refuge of chiseled rock and stone Caverns deep in mountains of Self ancient scrawls and paint upon walls offer no solace Mirrors and clockworks Mirrors and clockworks Piercing vision through the dark Ethereal and beautiful refracting light off mirrors in colors countless An angels voice mutes the endless ticking and I am drawn to my knees She is life she is love And I am lost until she is found |

You know, one of my fondest movies to watch, to "feel good" is "Michael". This reminded me of that movie... and for that, thank you! |

Raph, this is very good. Different than what you usually write...more deep, or something. I like it....  "Love makes the world go around" |

Sunshine that's with Travolta right? Great movie I agree. The scene where he squares of with the bull is priceless. Ethel i think what's confusing you is that I'm not being dark for once but rather am actually showing a rare glimmer of hope.  |

Inked this is based on a dream I had once, I have seen her face but I have not found her yet. She eludes me and until I find her I fear I'll never be complete. Magnus you are way too kind sir. You've made my day and week!!! Dixie no happy ending yet, I've yet to find her and thus I'm incomplete, but sometimes hope is all we have and its a beautiful thing too. |

enjoyed the subtle passion weaved within your words! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Wonderful pondering in this piece, Aenimal. I enjoyed your introspection, and the positive feeling of hope in the end. Well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

"face up watching scattered feathers spiral down like snowflakes in pursuit of one who flew too high" SHEESH! That part could fly alone for me. Outstanding imagery, Raph. Thanks for the new library treasure. |
