Looking inside For answers I find Twilight, Resplendent with Pernicious mystery, Folding itself over landscapes To hide all that fear The light. Quiet, lonely places… Safely navigated in Daytime, become Traps for those Foolish enough To enter As craven worries Stalk even brave Hearts through The darkened Alleys of Your mind. Finding the light Of discovery Comes only after Nightmares Of twilight Searches. |

I feel the great need to bring along a candle, but would need to enclose it within glass, for fear of a breath... an excellent write.... |

Lady... thank you for the compliment. The poem to me lacks a cohesiveness and the closing is less than I would like as it is too obvious..perhaps one day I will rework.. [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (edited 07-11-2001).] |

The search never ends, my friend -- we simply collect clues to the answer in the process... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

I enjoyed the discovery taking place inside one's mind at the most enchanting time of day. A marvelous adventure indeed. |

this is so soft and quiet...yet it is vivid, too, in its imagery enjoyed the whispers, because that's truly how they felt |

now this reads out loud very well. . . may I offer a suggestion for the ending?? Discovering that the light of introspection Comes only after the darkness of Nightmares It's just an idea. . . hope that it helps. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person.
