The silence that surrounds me Is a friend I've always known. It is a constant reminder That I'm within my world alone. Though the eyes remain open, No light shines within. There is only total darkness. This is the way it's always been. Like one lonely rosebud Left to flourish after the frost. Struggling to survive Feeling abandoned and lost. But inside these dark silent walls, A familiar voice can be heard. Guiding with gentle hands. Speaking without words. |

WOW!!! I'd like to say how very beautifully written this is, but the words escape me. I mean words like.... exquisite, excellent, poetically perfect, ummm...well you get the point  WOW!!!! All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Like one lonely rosebud Left to flourish after the frost. Struggling to survive Feeling abandoned and lost. I can really relate to your words, Up until 2 yrs ago I felt alone in the world, locked away in my own world until I met two very special people who no matter how far away are always close at hand. I second what Jeffery said, a wonderfully written poem. "The silence that surrounds me Is a friend I've always known." excellent poem. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |
