What is that bustle in your head? The storm is clearing... Along a distant horizon, visions of bright illumination. Whispering wind, echoes of my plight. "Come here to me!" A palpable voice of steel. My insanity... It tugs, pulls, twists- ...the tethers of my mind. One way, this. Then another, that. Constant companion- Close as a night-time lover. Shall I win? Doomed to lose? "No matter," it screams across my frail flesh. "The game is all!" ------------------ ...the things I did not know at first, I learned by doing twice. -Billy Joel |

Yikes! I've often thought I was crazy - people tell me I'm weird - I feel the 'palpable voice of steel' drawing me closer to that edge......yikes! Very good.  |

Wowee...great read, but I'm afraid if I were to take a trip through your head, I'd definately need a tour guide - or a very detailed map....!! This one near went over my head (course, I'm short as I always say!) Reading the replies of others...that helped. ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |

Thank you...I think...or are you just laughing at me???  I think if'n you were to take a trip through my mind, you would be very scared indeed...or maybe just confused like me!!! ------------------ ...the things I did not know at first, I learned by doing twice. -Billy Joel |
