Standing in an empty hall I take a final glance And force my mind to save it all Before my feet advance A silence that just lingers here Offers my mind to sing With voices that soon disappear After their echoing With every step I manage out I Leave something behind The ones I came to care about Treasures I came to find So badly I will miss them all Already it is clear Just standing in this empty hall At the end of the year The thought of leaving makes me sick My haste would be a crime How could the others leave so quick For me? I'll take my time [This message has been edited by Kevin (edited 06-13-2000).] |

this was a testimony of love and courage., it was beautiful Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

~If you are talking about what I think you are talking about....I felt the same way at that time in my life....It made me sad...I wanted to take my time too. After all that day in and day out so much of your life...I found it hard to walk away from...atleast as quickly as I saw others do. Great poem..Love it. If I'm way off you could either toss some nasty words my way or just let me take it where it took me. hehe. Wonderful poem Kevin. Take care. *Peace. |

A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

Kevin,..... you took me back to school with this one.... I was there, and I saw your counter part lingering as I dashed out the door. Great post, high school wasn't that much fun for me. Parker |
