I am... Yet what I am no one cares or knows My friends treat me like a memory lost I am the self-consumer of my woes They rise and vanish in oblivious host Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost And yet I am and live with shadows tossed Into the nothingness of scorn and noise Into the living sea of waking dreams Where there is neither sense or life nor joys But the vast shipwreck of my life esteems And even the dearest , that I love the best Are strange , rather stranger than the rest I long for scenes where man has never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my creator , God And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below above the valted sky "Only in the dreams , is that man can truly be free It was always thus and always thus will be" Prof. Keating Dead Poets Society |

Im at a loss for words here... you went way deep for this one this is excellent..truly ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |

LoneRanger....this is simply beautiful, though sad at the same time. I too long for that place where I, alone with my Lord, can be at peace. Who knows? Perhaps I'll find it as I wander across this country. Alicat |
