Saddling my hopes whilst I sleep a somber dream The Starry night envelopes and enshrouds me in its scheme In slumber to awaken to the world inside my head Oblivious,I'm taken... I don't even know my bed for though I'm here,I'm very far... and I wrestle any star that leads me where I need to go The hopes I ride upon are all I know If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living.

very well written indeed. I'm looking forward to more of your work. Your talent for words is a delight. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Everyone...thank you for such nice comments. Yes,I know...it's "few and far inbetween" for me lately.I've really been working on music the last 6 months or so. This contribution is rather strange for me and occured because of laying awake 2 nights prior to actually writing it down to eventually post it here.I never did anything like this before.I laid there writing this in my head and went over it about 8 times hoping I'd remember it the next day.The next day,I forgot to write it down,but then remembered late the following evening and finally put pen to paper! Very strange  The only difference is that I changed a word to "somber"...thought it was more appropriate and sounded better. Anyway,thanks again...Geoff If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. |

i'm curious which word you changed to somber, that's all. amazing, by the way. i'm a fan of strong finishes, and that finish goes beyond strength. so what's it going to be then, eh? |

Thank you,P.S. Thank you so much,Marge...that's very nice. Always nice hearing from you. Thanks,Ben,for your compliments.Well... should I divulge the word or leave it a secret,hmmm.The word I was going to use and originally thought of was,"vacant".I didn't think it was an appropriate adjective considering cohesive clarity. Wow...aliteration! Peace,Geoff |
