Before The Moon Howls |

Softly, hesitantly.. Each step taken into the unknown of what will become today...Treading gingerly ...through life... toward the darkness... at light’s edge... Still is the air of sound, void of life but for the gentle fall of a shimmering tear... Shuddering... each breath clouding, hanging, disappearing into the light of a street lamp...until the next labors and a heart races.. Alone, into the valley of fear, crossing the arid plain of desolate thoughts... Softly...lightly...as water fills the mirage of doubt before the moon howls... |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Barry, we hav eall missed you soooooo much, dearest friend, we're all sooooo happy you're back, yay!

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Softly, hesitantly Oh Barry your poetry is a soft voice and a gentle keep. I don't know what to say, this touches the lights edge and brings it around. Still is the air of sound, void of life but for the gentle fall of a shimmering tear... Oh me! |
