Knightmare Race / Lightening Win All my dreams are dark of late and death, in keening calls should I surrender to my fate, within these pallid walls. Not all your dreams are dark I know Nor all your thoughts are ill Unshield your eyes and onward go Towards the far green hill No gleam of sunlight shines on me in blackest night, I roam; I seek the door that sets me free or one that leads me home. Reach out your hand I am here In sunlight’s vale I wait I’ll close the door to darkest fear And hold wide heavens gate No starlit path to guide my way no Ariendiel for me, but dark of night, I hope to stay and pierce with eyes that see. .The light still waits to guide you home Its shining bright for you No path of fear you need to roam The words I speak are true I walk this road alone, alone! For comfort draws not near through the vale, of blood and bone is my heart drawn and sere. No need to walk alone I’m there To pace the path with you I’ll chase the demons of despair Promise to see you through A single tear flows, down my face forerunner of the flood for now, a simple act of grace cannot be met by blood. Dry your tears they need not fall No flood of tears for this I’ll hold against the tide of all With my beloved kiss No light, no hope, no way of power redeems me, from my fate, in this place, within this hour my task, to sit and wait. The light I bring to clear the dark A shining torch of hope Heed the words, now listen hark You're free to shed life's rope The darkness crowds, with choices made that led me to this place, all the power I have will fade, for I have lost the race. The race is won I say to you The choice you made is wrong The truth is here but woven through The new dawn’s blessed song Keth and Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Oh, my. *S* This is excellent, ladies!!! I'd read Keth's contribution and thoroughly enjoyed it (though I was remiss in saying so... sorry! *G*) But just when I think it can't get much better, you weave these excellent poems together... and you make magic. *S* Great work!!!! |

Seeeeeee! Nevah argue with someone who loves you soooo dearly, Maaasha! In a hopeless situation, the props we need are in the hands who hold us tenderly. Totally an outstanding post, y'all, and Marsha, it is wonderful to see you write and post once more. Hugs to you both. You are indeed lucky Marsha, to have someone of Keth's caliber of caring to tend to your needs of the heart. Jeff |

Nothing short of a standing ovation will suffice for this one. Awesome! I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne |
