Across the sands on knees and hands Scraping skin till pains blends agony, With all sight so very bright White hot Sun bakes over done agony Eyes shut so tight to protect from light As ever crawls, slides, and falls agony Can I still dream? Longing for the pools of reality’s moistness, A flowing stream Wetting that cools with fantasy’s darkness. I lay In the heat of day Eyes shut tight all the way Motionless. Is the dream a death Have I used all my breath Or will a shadow drip upon me Searing in a sandy agony. Gloom |

Wow, very poignant. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Thank you, GG I appreciate the thought But I don’t think my voice lends to it, I have been at venues where I’ve read my poetry Here in Baltimore, But not recently, But if we are talking Transportation and Lodging I am always open to negotiation. Gloom |

No, Sir, not at all...you're just speaking truth... Perhaps I need to go hide behind a cloud?  |

Sunshine that would be a travesty to hide you behind a cloud. I on the other hand prefer the clouds Gloom |

Oh, sometimes, when I hide behind them, Professor, I illuminate their own glory.... you've seen moments like that, I'm sure! |
