Live life instead of a dying life, but what can war do without strife? Blessed and fortunate I am to be, yet each day is but a mountain to me, I am gentle and I hold laughter lost after the silence in memories after, as trembling I see my own hands and realize my fading sense of reality. The stars gleam brightly and cold, as silent as memories scream but hold those childhood dreams in place while forsaking my own face; the music dies, the starlight cries, as it is struck down and dies. I realize my fading sense of reality, simple and yet agonizing pity as trembling I see my own hands, for it is so real, as I see the grasslands, a land of no wars, a land of peace, a land where time is no race, as the sun is a rose burning as o'er the land it rises returning. The clouds flow ever so slow their shadow rolls on the ground low, a mountain grows higher in Paradise without bottom, only rise; the sight is obscured by a black cloud that is a swarm swift and loud, aloof the silvery clouds it floats sriking nothing, yet making boasts, striking fear as it comes closer to me with minions ready to consume; they lash out with death's dark rod, consuming and leaving no blood. I realize my fading sense of reality as joy is burned in vanity; as at the world I look with mask lifeless and shook, through eyes grayish-brown sad in a face forsaken for a lad. ------------------ Nimrod the Hunter |

Nimrod... If you look directly beneath the "Post a Reply" on the upper right corner of the screen, you will see "FAQ". Click on that, and you will find a tutorial on how to use html graphics, as well as the graphics that Ron has made available for copying and pasting on your postings... Have fun!  |
