---Solitude --- < !signature-->~ Looking across the dreary expanse That was the bleak morning sky Brought to mind thoughts of you. ~ In that vast skyscape filled with The gray clouds that signaled gloom, There was a break, a brief break. ~ A break in the gloom that liberated Your brilliant light to blaze upon My soul like nothing before or since. ~ Even as the glow warmed through to My soul and thawed my once frigid heart, I knew That the break would be painfully short. ~ My joy was tempered by the sight of the Dreary clouds slowly engulfing the light In What seemed like moment, the light was gone. ~ Now as I look across the sky, I see no more Breaks in this gloom, it stretches to the end of The horizon, as far as the heart can see, There is solitude. Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?" [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 10-31-2000).] |

Solitude is nice, but I do love a break in the clouds no matter how short. Thank you for a look into your light. |

This has a potential for many interpretations...a missing love and also a spiritual message. i think you left the reader with walking away with what they believe it means. Which is very good. thanks for the read. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

It's amazing how light can reflect so many emotions. I truly enjoyed this one. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
