The weakest eye renders vision beyond the cradle's horizon. Filtering nothing, the knowledge stores bless both light and disease, to caress this uncensored climate. The weakest eye stays unshielded to the darning needle, no thread of deceit can suture its witness, embracing ebullition experience regardless of mendacity and misery. The weakest eye blossomed from virginity. Cynicism and hatred; these humanitarian burdens press poison on its pristine pupil. In its summer repose the sun sheds, for the sight, an unbiased dawn. The weakest eye paints a tapestry secretly memory ingrained binds all vibrant vessels, as children touching, never to break the barriers of intimacy. Sorrow for the skulk locking the eye in solidarity. "Things get clear when I feel free When whatever's next comes easily When gentle hands give life to me" Manic street preachers- why so sad [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 03-10-2001).] |

Ah, Brian, 'tis good to see you again, me lad!! How have you been? This piece of yours is a bit over my head. I've read it a few times and each time I think I'm starting to get it, I get lost again. Can you give me a bit of help? I like your new colorized picture! |

Thank you for the email, Brian! Yes, you meant just what I thought you meant. I should be a bit more confident in my impressions! Great writing! |

The weakest eye paints a tapestry secretly =================== as children touching, never to break the barriers of intimacy. ===================== ("and the meek shall inherit the earth?") very very cool write Bri-gator excellent use of metaphor and comparisons... and a deep look at the vision humanity all too often lacks. very cool and unique perspective and inspire as well as excellent vocab choices. "In its summer repose the sun sheds, for the sight, an unbiased dawn." what a beautiful thought that is... I do so love the way your poetic mind works sweet prophet pal-o-mine so great to see your smiling face and name here and to get to read your words... as I always learn from you. love ya Bri Eve-a-gator this poem brought this old fav song to mind... (not sure why.. you know how my mind works) LOL BEFORE THE DELUGE Jackson Browne from the cd Late For the Sky Some of them were dreamers, some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools They would need to make their journey back to nature While the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them new pleasure, some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered And on the brave and crazy wings of youth They went flying around in the rain And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered And in the end, they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge And in the moment they were swept before the deluge Now let the music keep our spirits high Let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by By and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry at the way the earth was abused By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power And they struggled to protect her from them only to be confused By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour And when the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn, only a few survived And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge Let the music keep our spirits high Let the buildings keep our children dry Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by By and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky We're living in a world full of illusion Everything is so unreal My mind is in a state of confusion But I can't deny the way I feel ~Depeche Mode~ |
