Step softly upon my soul's spiraling staircase, for the dust settles so swiftly over these vanishing footprints even as I pass by you.. it seems I never really was here except in my mind's eyes as I blink blink blink blink away the images that flash by in dark syncopation my color still seems one-dimensional overexposed yet underdeveloped thoughts flashing before my mind's eyes I pinch the outer edges of my self-seeking proofs only to find reality exposing me... and leaving me wanting so much more. The negatives do not contain me. Please, hold me in your hands carefully. Breathe deeply my exhaled imagery, then return to me the essence of my being, that I may know I have lived a 3D reality before I am left behind in the dark room. |

Midnitesun, this is an absolutely stunning write! I must read it over and over again, and I'm keeping it, too. |

"I pinch the outer edges of my self-seeking proofs only to find reality exposing me... and leaving me wanting so much more." You remember that story we were both around for the beginning of? You just wrote the ending to it...perfectly. Haven't read one like this for a long time from you Kacy. Very much enjoyed. (Hurts so good, eh?)  |

Yes, Dunc. Did I ever tell you how much I love your big heart? You are living 'proof' that humans are worth all the pain. |

my color still seems one-dimensional overexposed yet underdeveloped thoughts flashing before my mind's eyes Whoah, what a feel in the entire piece. This is just one of my favorites because it seems to fit me at this point in my development. Excellent. Patricia |

ROTFL! Duncan, you ARE a pain, but I love pain. It makes me feel more alive. Am I a masochist??? LOL |
