I have been here before I just cant think of when, I remember the desk And the paper and pen, The words are all written The way I recall, Like windows of light Shining into the hall, On their way to a room Where the sun never goes, Where the night never sleeps And the day never knows, As they look for the hand That gave life to their song, When the shadows of truth Were so vivid and long, Where the vespers of summer And winter collide, Till before very long There is nowhere to hide, Until poetry fades Like the paint on a wall, Until no-one can hear When the fading rhymes call, And all that I know Is Ive been here before, I remember the words And the tightly locked door... |

Where the vespers of summer And winter collide, Till before very long There is nowhere to hide, an opening of awareness, and yes, we've all been there before, unfortunately, some just cannot seem to remember. Penned with wonderful description....and rhyme. |

Enjoyed every word of this very much indeed. I can feel the power of the dénouement in that last line, and its enigma adds to its power. Owl |
