Whispered within faint heart beats I hear deafening silence, entombed within a constrained cacophony, drowning in discordant dream dances, denying both life and death... both forever backlit by glaring lights hidden behind these once warm candled eyes that thought Love could overcome Hate. The only pure light I see resides within this darkened mind, fullness of thought shadowed by the knowledge I exist forever naked before God, invisible to Man’s constant myopic gaze. My days are numbered too few or too many, I know not which. But however long they be I’ll remain true to the ME that is found only within my vision of THEE. |

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I already have three signed for the book, and a fourth short senryu that has been submitted, so this one is a bit late for Reflections. But I sincerely thank you for that wonderful comment! May ripples of LOVE become waves of PEACE [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-10-2003 06:23 PM).] |

'My days are numbered too few or too many, I know not which. But however long they be I’ll remain true to the ME that is found only within my vision of THEE.' There is a strength and sincerity to this that I really liked Kacy. Very cool title, too. |

To mirror ourselves in God's light is a wonderfully comforting thought, that gives us the strength to live fully the right number of our days. Beautifully done. Love, Margherita |
