hey everyone, a very beautiful song inspired me to write this poem, I sure do hope you enjoy. There you see him acting without words moving a slow trance-like dance evoking a response he captures the windows of souls expressing himself extravagantly emphasising his feelings of importance and prominence miming his way to their hearts until soft wave-like murmurs fill the air Dark Angel 29/5/00 < !signature--> Je t'aime plus qu'hier et moins que demain." I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow (unkown) [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (edited 05-29-2000).] |

DarkAngel~ You have described the 'Mummer's Dance' to perfection. I LOVED - 'miming his way to their hearts' One of my fondest recalls is to see the 'Mummers' do their dance in parades. Awesome ! Thank you .. now what was the song ? ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

How could we ever get our ideas across without words? I have a lot of respect for these entertainers! Good poem, my friend.  |

he captures the windows of souls expressing himself extravagantly ... nice work, dark angel... regards, sudhir. Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Wonderful. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I must be part mime because I'm speechless after reading your poem. This is really beautiful. Wouldn't it be a terrific world if people were judged by their actions and not their words? Here's to Mime Power - the Silent Majority! |
