SOMETHING.


Silver Strands of gossamer light
The stars above the mist
Whispered loving kiss
Wanton depths of encompassing night

Golden beams in rippling haze
The heat of summer sun
Turn as colors run
Through the fine and careless days

Ghostly mirror, pale as moon
Reflected white light
Tonight so jaded, slight
Fading sooner, oh too soon

Fiery spark amid the dark
Flame of burning souls
Old and unfilled holes
Scarred and lifelong marked

Never was, then was, remembered
Poverty cannot be the same
Pain once poor again
Where once strength was lies now surrendered

There was built the greatest wall
Now is opened, shown
Un-grown, safe once behind the stone
Never considered it might fall

I wandered through this in a slow and gentle read, that understood the parts and players well.

Xaos - The ABBA can be a tough read, but you carried it off very well.  Your theme was consistent throughout.  I realy enjoyed it.

we all have a wall we stand safe(hide?) behind,,,,,never expecting it to fall, or grow weak,,,,,,so surprised, when it is we ourselves,,that give admittance to its fall

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike

Thanks everyone *hugs*

I like 'ABBA' a lot, not sure why I used to use it obsessively but I have tried to use it less because it seemed everything was going that way.
