Destroy my vision of solemn contemplation
with the last light of daybreak, how we are
always intrigued with the past. The future
stemming from lost voices that present
themselves to our minds and cling fast to
that small little space within, hope is a thing of beauty. Perhaps a vestage of true colors could
begin to transform me, but I like the white, black  
and grey's of the day. They suit me, hold me steady,
allowing me to see through the daggers of the
next line being spilled. Color is so easy, and taken as is we forget the depth of it all. But take it away and it seems artsy, at times bland. I would prefer to think of it as true, no excess thoughts
crashing through my eyes. It is a way of hope that we must never let go of the hand that grasps, praying for warmth once more. My day begins again, and looks to the sky so blue and deep that I could truly believe I am lost, but I am here. Here once again and home to a refuge of words that I
hold dear. Words like the wind that falls with grace
and then may never be heard again, I wonder after the truth of it all. And I see my face once young.

Michael - goodness this is amazingly insightful

seeing yourself so young . . .
geez I always wonder about it all
and sadly sometimes no answers come
only me here - you know?

But when that answer does  
and it will
everything will fall right into place
I love this write
If I missed your entrance - I apologize
you fit nicely here

hope is a thing of beauty
you nailed it friend
xxoo

It's the quality of the complement that i feel, not the quanity.
