where on earth are we lost by rock crashing surf block-jammed in grey corners swept yellow streaked in painted hollows hear down here where it whispers breathing deep frosty air down here where you weep with joy or pain under the veil in ecstasy or torment oceans of tears or smiles like the sun crowned we are with the crown of thorns cast on oceans to carry us or drown us or sweeten our day with turquoise breezes fresh days and moments lost in time while a widow wails opening her heart to death and a future blacker than night but a child opens eyes pure as daybreak over fields of green while the old man dies surrounded by his things left open to any wind to sweep them away we follow inexorably crying or laughing sighing or cursing hating or loving open and closed lost and safe between two worlds as the world turns ever confusing what is with what was what should have been and why we failed and who we are and how we see us we follow our hearts to the cliff the wall or the skies |

we follow our hearts to the cliff the wall or the skies WOW it is life of which you speak. Loved the flow of this piece. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

~Allan,...first, it's good to read you again. And oh, how to prepare oneself for this, um, I don't know, it's like jumping in a pool of life. It's all happenning and even now you know? This was very interesting, and I wanted you to know that I thought so. Definately leaving me with things to ponder. Well done and presented. *Peace A. |
