As the sun sets wildly upon my back a shadow of a child falls to the ground before. So frail and thin is this shadow, the heart torn. I reach down and put my hand upon it, I feel his pain I hold his heart I touch his soul and know his heart. Abandoned and ashamed, locked in total loneliness. Reaching down to him my heart hurts with his. Desperation and Humiliation raging in his mind. I cry with him and for his frailty. I understand I cannot help him. I stand and dry my eyes. I look down once again and look upon a shadow of a man standing in a pool of a lost child's tears. ------------------ Deverone "We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out". ----Ray Bradbury--- |
