The Madness In the nightmare of some madness comes a moment of the mind where colors fade, stones dissolve, events compact in Time to weigh upon the pumping heart’s plunge before a sin whose gravity steals the rational mind’s breath then sucks you in. And there you stand, trembling without motion at the brink, morality pushing hard against the pull of what you think. Up from the chaos crashing comes an echo on the wing to rescue sounds of sanity so confused by wrecks of things. ‘Tho faint and brief its life to live, which vibes upon a word, shouts "Thunder" in the lightning strike that stills the hovering bird. And in that blink, that flash of blind, come colors ‘til they fade where stones dissolve, events outstretch to march a mad parade along a road of rubble where the memory has a lane that leads to where the real is just one step over into the sane.

And in that blink, that flash of blind, come colors �til they fade where stones dissolve, events outstretch to march a mad parade along a road of rubble where the memory has a lane that leads to where the real is just one step over into the sane. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fabulous verse, Namyh~ In the blink of an eye, we go from 0 to 60, and hold on for dear life. |

"along a road of rubble where the memory has a lane that leads to where the real is just one step over into the sane" I thought this was awesome. Good job, the whole piece was great. |

Blues Serenade – Going from 0 to 60 can become an exhilarating force. But going from 60 to 0, that’s usually when the madness shows up. Thanks Lori for holding on for dear life and for your enjoyment. Namyh |

BC – If madness is sometimes deep within the mind, it’s there like a force waiting for eruption as we keep trying to repress it into extinction. Maddening isn’t it? Glad you enjoyed. Thanks Bill. Namyh |
