Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-10-17 10:46 AM


I'm having a bit of trouble with my muse lately, so bear with me, people:

Tiny Beings

I find them intimidating
Tiny beings on which I cannot live
Without their awesome power -
A power I could never fathom.

Sometimes
In the sunlight
I question their purpose
Their means of existence
And if they feel the same.

But, then, in stark dark
I cry without their comfort,
The way they seem to wink at me
When I smile up to them.

I often think "star" is too inadequate
a word
For such wise old wonders.
Something eloquent, and complicated
Would suffice their bodies better.

But sometimes, you must wonder,
Just what they're running from,
So fast,
They forget,
To live,

And die
For all to see...
And why we think
It a beautiful,
Sparkling,
Scene.

We, I have to say that if this is trouble then it better stay.I wish I could write like this in troubled times.I don't think you've lost anything.This said so much and it was felt from within you.Keep writing.

No telling who is running from whom, and to where?   Is there really a place to go???

  You made me feel small in a good way,  and offered up so many thoughts to ponder.  

Nicely done KoKo~
