“SHADOWS WITHIN” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Lying in this bed, as I do, alone, cold, in the dark… Reaching out, tossing, turning, night time leaves its mark… Eyes closed, perhaps a dream, nothing there to hold, gone… We embraced, you were here, this time into the dawn… Darkness, as I search inside, nothing I find, to be found… Troubled thoughts I can see, passions, that only confound… Mists I see moving now, from nowhere, they begin… Color of transparent black, imagine, the shadows within… ~~~~ |

Darkness within arms reaching out Wanting much more having such doubt Cold and alone seeking to know Wanting the warmth love to bestow Lost in a dream timeless is here Wake to the day lost in a tear *sigh* I just couldn't help it..this poem brought words flowing from me. My heart understands this poem very well....nightly in fact. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Bill darling boy I really love this poem it is UTTERLY utterly dreamy rather a sad and lonely little write but layers of meaning again. YOUR writing lately is superb darling boy just superb I love the depth of this the shades of it’s meanings, truly wonderful writing and (((((((Hug’s))))))))) to stave off the cold and lonely feelings Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

BC...sad and lonely words....Look out your window...breath the fresh air...admire the beauty that surrounds you...It won't always be this way...I know...I have been there... Not that many years ago... |

Eyes closed, perhaps a dream, nothing there to hold, gone… We embraced, you were here, this time into the dawn… Bill - does this mean she is staying longer? Maybe next time to stay. Well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Yes, the night does bring shadows like this doesn’t it? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
