Did time bear the pain Tears cried and stained The shadows of a mind Just trying to be kind Hugging the wind Releasing the sin We ran through the night Holding on tight Fearful of the blight The bell tolled The thunder rolled Feeling thoughts unfold Was I up for the tryst Someone held my wrist I wanted to make a fist No sounds Just hounds Out of bounds Telling tales Sliding snails The face was pale Lights shouted flashing No more bashing trashing Blushing my mind went crashing Sorrow was all around As they walked their way Lifelessness seemed to invade everything Time wanted nothing of their thoughts A harrowing light dashed their path Terror gripped them in their fright Why questions engulfed them Answers avoided them Or were not understood They raced trying to collect the light They cried when it wasn’t for them Harsh words divided them Hatred grinned a terrible fate No sound – no love How can this be Why can’t it be other Cry – hissed the sinful brother An errant thought slithered thorough A gnarled hand collected light A twisted face smiled light into a flimsy path They ran the path The chased the light Fright lost Light wrapped them in flimsy Time answered questions but will they …be understood… [This message has been edited by Goodknight (07-18-2003 09:08 PM).] |
