My dreams are so alive in the shadow of the night but inaccessible in the light of the new day they say… it’s always darkest before dawn… For me it feels just the opposite to start another day without you… I can hardly wait for the night again so I can dream you while you’re gone… |

Your poetry is very real, Neeraja... I want your happiness for you, and yet, will we miss your poetry when you are? |

a clever spin on the cliche....i like doing that too. thought of elton after this one. "mona lisa's and mad hatters, sons of bankers, sons of lawyers turn around and say good morning to the night." it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown [This message has been edited by MidnightSon (07-10-2002 02:43 PM).] |

My writing helps me to be in peace with the way my life goes, it's ok... smile... no one is always happy... happiness is just an interval between two periods of unhappiness. My poems are a connection between those periods. I will always write... I love words... and the magic beyond the words... Thank you Sunshine for your sweet words... and thank you MidnightSon for your lines of poetry... Love, Light and Happiness! Neeraja |

This is so beautifully expressed, Neeraja... I'm so glad that you still have your dreams and I hope they never turn into nightmares... ![]() Lyra |
