FACES

Faces here, Faces there,
Faces, faces, everywhere.
Faces in everything I see,
And always staring back at me
In my dreams, and in the clouds,
Like laughing demons donning shrouds.
In the ceiling, in the walls,
Pricking sanity till she falls.

So as I look, in fear I turn,
But in my mind images burn.
I close my eyes but there I see
More faces staring back at me.
Stabbing, jabbing, restless, haunting,
Sleep, the price of endless taunting.
I open my eyes, but they're still there.
Faces, faces, everywhere.




 Michael Anderson

It's the little things you take for granted,
That'll mean the most to you when they're gone.

Faces Faces Everywhere


But none with friendly eyes...

Love this

 Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

It's like you can't get away?  Well done  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.
