is it me
or is it miserable
sitting in the dark
with my life turned off again
its irresistable...a pure delight
to bother.. to pester..
you basking
and bathing in your good for nothing
shallow little light...

Shallow little light,
Light of all light,
Comforter to all,
On a cold and stormy night.

Light of all light,
Friend to the lonely,
Shallow little light,
The one and only.

Like your poem, unique and comforting  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

so much emotion spoke in so few perfect words...another great one jac.
take care, jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

conversational tone (is it just me...?) was very very cool. and the part about turning off life was a great play on words. liked it.
