The day is cold and splashed with grey, an old film noir in black and white, empty of meaningful feeling or direction, it surrounds me like a still life painting, going nowhere, doing nothing, it hangs, tilted to all who view it, nature’s vertigo, dulling the mind, numbing the soul endlessly, the rotted remains of a beauty long past, finally giving way to the chaotic night of bitter cold, a cruel slashing wind, moving randomly, a mindless invisible thing, piercing the heart like a frozen bayonet, nowhere to hide, nowhere to seek shelter, pursued in dogged, relentless cruelty, until the will expires in a final gasp, the light of hope flickers and is gone, only the black, unyielding night remains, and the soul screams with a sickening cry for escape, for the end of the awful pain, but the night ends, and the same day begins anew. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Oh dear Pegasus. I hope you don't live in this world. It's chilling. Joyce |

I too hope this is only imaginings....beautifully written, yet horrifyingly dark and lacking the usual hope and beuty of which you usually write...more wildflowers, please... A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

pegasus111: Almost painful to read, there is so much torment. Hopefully, there is a glimmer of light somewhere! Betty Lou Hebert |
