I would vanish As some elusive leprechaun, Into the deep quietudes Of Isolation; to moss-marbled forests, And impenetrable glades; or fly On deathless wings Across miles of waste, And years of memory, Into the heart of endless Time. And I would leave behind No whisper of what once I sang, Nor ghost of far flung dreams That I had loved. Softly I would steal Beyond the reach of echo, Into a stillness that Silence cannot know... Even as a wisp of tinted cloud Fades before a setting sun, and blends To nothingness with a evening sky. |

"Beyond the reach of an echo..." How wonderful that thought is... Still amazing me with your words!! Until... "There is an alter ego which dwells in every soul..." a-alibaster "I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less, I am tears of pain, tears of Death. |

Rex, your work sings. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
