what visions are found within darkness of imagination before the winds of change scatter them willy-nilly into the cellar of id's yawing jaws what do you hear when alone and cold bites your soul shrilling wind outside what is the music it plays do you dance or hide from your uttermost fears the wind talks to you does it dare tell you the truth that you are fraudulent nowhere else to go universe caving in on you curl into human ball hiding freezing from global warming eyes pools of dark regret your wants and desires folded up and put in a suitcase as you cry tears of ineptitude a gurgling, final hiss . . . my dream, my dream ©Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

WOW!!! such powerful words...I too know this feeling when I believe what I am told I am and do not see how the teller only wants to control how I feel about myself...light shines in my life now even though there are dark places I have yet to remember and bring into the light...*BIG HUGS* *may our dreams ever be magical* [This message has been edited by Startime1955 (06-07-2012 03:10 PM).] |

Love throws us into a bottomless abyss at times, just as it projects us into untold heights of bliss. You describe the edge of darkness so well, dear Jerry. We need to stay away from those "black holes" ... but if they are "tunnels" forcedly there must be an exit into the Light.  Margherita |

Yes, the are, Margherita, and to get to that light you have to navigate through the blasted tunnel. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
