The dark clouds of rain Mirror my soul’s stain Blemishing the purest white Making it black as night The thunder loudly rumbles As my conscience fumbles Trying hard to understand The consequences at hand Have I done wrong In writing this song I just didn’t see The way it could be That time has now past Laid to rest at last We see eye to eye Under the January sky Years in the making Ours for the taking Peace has been made As animosities fade I see you in a new light Sympathizing with your plight Losing one you love To death’s cold glove A feeling I know well The tolling of the bell Tugging at your heart Tearing it apart I am glad I came Extinguishing the flame That burned for years Causing many tears You broke the ice I thought that was nice Offering me a friendly hug Sweeping hurt feelings under the rug From this day on The anger shall be gone Leaving behind a seed The fruit of your deed < !signature--> Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 01-29-2001).] |

What a wonderful, lovely friend you have with great strength. What she did is so very hard to do. |

Sunshine . . . Thank you and that is so very true. I guess we both realized it just wasn't worth fighting over anymore. SEA . . . Oh yes, my favorite lines also. serenity . . . I think it is she who is lovely. It is easy to accept the olive branch once it has been extended to us. Thanks to you my friend. Ethan . . . Thank you very much. I hope things are well for you. Sending good vibes your way!! VAS . . . It is extremely hard to do and I admire her for it. It was not a friend, but a family member this was written for. Perhaps some day we can also be friends. This is a step in the right direction though.< !signature--> Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 01-30-2001).] |

Excellent poem LW. . . The one good way to end. . . is peacefully. . . and with no thought of malice. . . it's good that she chose to do that. . . ------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
