Makes no difference whichever choice is made All things no matter what, are destined to fade Don’t be disconsolate if you drag behind You’ll finish still the same you’ll find Bringing me down with your lips to paralyze Fade the lines across the page before my eyes Follow me to the converging space between Where your darkest thoughts will be seen Dream of me and the things will all be real That only appear to be what you want to feel Give in to the chaos for that is the only way To get through to the other side, another day You always think in the evil absolutes As your will remains the most resolute Use that to ward off the impending day you die Until then, every day is a sort of goodbye |

"Follow me to the converging space between Where your darkest thoughts will be seen Dream of me and the things will all be real That only appear to be what you want to feel Give in to the chaos for that is the only way To get through to the other side, another day" love it...did you post this one before? Feel like I've read it before...  |

"every day is a sort of goodbye" Indeed it is, CG. So many goodbyes in one lifetime - and we can still smile. Aren't we just too amazing for words? That aside, enjoyed your perspective of "things" but have you ever thought that perhaps "as below, so above"? Maybe our below is already creating our above - that scares me! Helen |

CG, I do so enjoy reading your thoughts which you always express so poetically. Hopefully, with every good-bye, there is a new hello! ~ Sort of a "When one door closes ~ another one opens" scenario.   EA |

Give in to the chaos for that is the only way To get through to the other side, another day I love the depth and layers of your work... and these lines particularly... The ending is a truth we usually choose to ignore... Superb penning! |

As yer resident witch--I felt obligated to read this'n. I'm half asleep in the afternoon, so forgive me if I'm befuddled as I try to picture a guy who is actually built the way your title suggests.  I concede I always had problems figuring out which end was up anyway. *laughing* I know--I shall simply follow the bouncing ball...s?  It's nice to have you back on the scroll, Jer. Enjoyed. |

Not you personally, Jer. Just men, in general? and hey--it's just me yanno. And sorry I missed the tone--I'm still at the movies in my mind. |
