When the chorus Is all I remember, There are a thousand verses Before it plays. When the rain Is all I've ever known, Not a cloud lingers. I can't tell you How life has changed Since I've seen it last. Don't call out to me; I'm inundated by sound When all I need To get through Is silence. The reason may be Plain to see, But these glasses Are fogged. Inspiration has certainly Changed its tactics. Has it been that long? Have that many mid-afternoons passed? Since when does the moon Possess such intimidation? And where are those stars To the northeast? Well, I used to put A lot of trust in them. When the chorus Is all I remember, Someone's just written another verse. |

SnowPants~ 'When the chorus Is all I remember, Someone's just written another verse.' I'm not sure why right now ... but this line just speaks to me. I'll have to remember that. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Since when does the moon Possess such intimidation? And where are those stars To the northeast? Well, I used to put A lot of trust in them. When the chorus Is all I remember, Someone's just written another verse The above lines are ones that shout the agony of confusion within you and the pleading for time to make sense of it all. Your best yet as far as I am concerned and that was not an easy thing to do as I have read many of yours and they all are great but this one goes beyond that. Superb penning from you. |
