The mind slowely dims behind the once bright eyes All that was drains away all that was once seen slips into the void soudlessly The soul which held the truths All that the world was to be all that the world had ever been was degradeing in the bright light of day failing with the passage of time How it will be missed the brightness All the hope and dreams he brought Every idea and view of heaven lost how the world mourns his greatness As the last of what he has known in him dies How cruel of life to take it What was the gift if it cannot live merely a haunting echo of greatness Lost now in the sandstorm of time Beyond the eyes of even the one Do we cry for him in his loss Do we cry for we in our loss Do we laugh at greatness fallen who are we to decide in the second And who are we to see the world Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock 'n roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow |

How cruel of life to take it What was the gift if it cannot live merely a haunting echo of greatness Lost now in the sandstorm of time Beyond the eyes of even the one Do we cry for him in his loss Do we cry for we in our loss Do we laugh at greatness fallen who are we to decide in the second And who are we to see the world ------------------- dear walter...how i love your ponderings in the dark...you do it with such grace... "How it will be missed the brightness All the hope and dreams he brought Every idea and view of heaven lost how the world mourns his greatness As the last of what he has known in him dies" this stanza is awesome!! even in the dark...your words shine.  take care, jm < !signature--> and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 03-21-2000).] |

Walter, This is wonderful! The soul which held the truths All that the world was to be all that the world had ever been was degradeing in the bright light of day failing with the passage of time those lines speak oh so many truths...so oh so many... |
