Goodnight, you (shine above) goodnight, me (in heaven, below— “with you” I whisper) Goodnight to love (But just for the night, my dear) Goodnight to life (No, not forever, little one) Goodnight everything everywhere Even though you can’t hear me I am here In some far off reaching back sort of way I will know you If you would only [hush] say goodnight to me 12/5/00 Peace, |

I think this is more than just a goodnight. I see two very different scenarios. First, and I hope this is the right interpretation, the speaker (possibly a child) might be thinking of a goodnight bid by a lost friend or relative. The second, darker interpretation sees this a a sort of suicide note. In either case, the use of parentheses seems a bit overdone. < !signature--> Pete Imagination is more important than knowledge Albert Einstein Well, here I am editing again. Sorry, I did notice you are new here and forgot my manners. Please accept my belated Welcome to CA. I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
