it falls silently with noone to hear in the darkness refraction dies a myriad of darkness alone silent The spirit travels silently Through the rain and dark It does not see or realise Or appreciate that which it does not understand The beauty of the night passes The space in the night widens Day approachs as the silent rain dissapates early morning dew lies silenced By the nights great revelries a myriad colours spread from its brothers all together in a lake of truth see the lonely rain bitter sweet Nights go on and reality spaces No spirits travel in days light As they have long faded Against the bright background In the life of the daybreak Deep outside in the void Where spirits travel and toil In endless darkness pronounced see by the pinprick holes in the sky Looking down for their lost brother searching nights long and endless For the comrade gone remembered They flicker in night skies eternal vigilance they travel on Round and round eternal circle Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. |

We;ve all heard of the circle of life, Walter has now introduced us to the circle of darkness, same thing really!! Wonderful work Walter, can you even write a bad poem?  There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

it falls silently with noone to hear in the darkness refraction dies a myriad of darkness alone silent The spirit travels silently Through the rain and dark It does not see or realise ------------- a myriad colours spread from its brothers all together in a lake of truth see the lonely rain bitter sweet Nights go on and reality spaces No spirits travel in days light ------------- Deep outside in the void Where spirits travel and toil In endless darkness pronounced see by the pinprick holes in the sky Looking down for their lost brother searching nights long and endless -------------- walter this is amazing, truly. the imagery is brilliant as always, but the words you have chosen are so vivid and sharp and the depth of the poem reaches so far into the dark... this is one of my favorite of yours (the last one goes unsaid as my most fav)(smile) very well written...and NO ISIS, I dont believe he can pen a bad one  take care, jm PS your signature verse is PERFECT for you. I love that beautiful old song. Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |
