May the shadows of yesterday Become the dreams of tomorrow Rain at my feet, torrents of sorrow Lilac in my hand, bouquet of dismay Compassion into nightmare Empty meanings, feelings rare Shattering, blinding! Staring at the stars Disillusioned, confused The sounds of my screams Echoing in the waves of the roars Trembling in agony's realms Resting my aching heart Upon the soft dew Until the morning sun Glows over the shadow Of this mind torned apart. The river still flows To the ocean of sadness Where dim lights masquerade And the silhouettes invade Dreams lasting forever Evaporating all the anger In the silence of the night Once more! The depths of sorrow Creeping, swarming, swamping A tired soul that seeks Only a moment of peace From the trauma and ordeal Of a battered, and savaged mind Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

'The river still flows To the ocean of sadness 'Where dim lights masquerade And the silhouettes invade Dreams lasting forever Evaporating all the anger In the silence of the night' Excellent lines, my friend! What a great read! Love it!! sp  Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Very, very moving and poignant - so full of pain. Well worded. Also strong, and powerful, as these emotions truly are! Well done. |

To wayoutwalt, BSC, Charisma, and Rosemary, Thank you all for your comforting words. Screams are often very silent, and many people out there have not the courage to let it out. God give them strength. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
