I never wanted to realize it could be Months have gone by and I denied it Still I have always knew it would one day be Just not this soon The lights I found to guide my charter through life … gone … Their oils have ran thin and wicks short Now fate deals me a new test “So tell me, are you ready” it asks Ready! Ready for what!? “To return … to return to the darkness,” he said. After that I sat down for awhile, I sat and listened to the silence Again fate talks to me, “Why don’t you answer” Then I think to myself, I may still find new lights to guide Yet why … why should I look What is to keep anything I may find from leaving “Are you ready, can you handle it” he asks At this point the only thing I can think is Why can’t Fate find someone else to pick on Now what helped contain my sanity is gone Again fate asks, “are you ready, or are you afraid to find out” And finally to him I reply Am I ready Fate, I can not answer that I suppose yes though, it’s time to go back So now I will stand up and walk back Back into my world of darkness To where that goes, only fate knows And to that my friends, Fate smiled There's a peace inside us all Let it be your friend It will help you carry on In the end There's a peace inside us all -Creed We are all givin time here, it's what you do with that time that matters - LOR [This message has been edited by baerlon (01-02-2002 06:22 AM).] |

*sigh* there is always a little light to find in the New Year...let your heart, soul, and eyes be open that you may see it. This poem left me feeling sad. Powerful feelings written here. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

How very introspective, Baer... I really enjoyed it, because I have also been having some trouble with my lights. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. You might check your battery, it might need some charging. Happy New Year! ![]() copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |
