Soon, come the shadows. Blissful blanket of security ! The warm and comforting shades of grey, that envelop me when day is done. I sit and peer out...like a wolf from his den. I pace...and return again...casting a cautious eye, upon the sunlit world outside my sanctuary. Waiting... Longing... At Last ! A faint glow on the western horizon... My Mother rises from her sleep... She lifts her head high and her luminous face... fills the night with shadows. I watch as she purges the world of its crass inhabitants. Now, they cringe and cower within THEIR dens... Dispirited and disinclined to venture forth into the night, without a beacon shining before them. I praise the beacons and the forewarning of approach... that they declare ! 'Tis a thousand eyed night and anyones guess as to what manner of beast may lie beyond each pair But, I find them less critical and far less hypocritical than the eyes that watch me by light of day The shadows fall about me... soothing... consoleing... The night brings Freedom ! My ancestry bears no trace of Beau Brummel blood and I am far less than a commoner But, among the shadows...I am King ! The Three Musketeers march bravely into the night... Solitude, Obscurity and I ... Indivisible and invincible Our freedom of movement is hindered only by the shackles and chains that my mind has created Back in the shadows. |

"'Tis a thousand eyed night and anyones guess as to what manner of beast may lie beyond each pair But, I find them less critical and far less hypocritical than the eyes that watch me by light of day" That is some really fantastic writing...and makes a lot of sense to me. I am really enjoying your work. |

i like this. there are some spots where it seems maybe words like me and the could be taken out to flow a little better, but only in a few spots. it has alot of depth to it. |
