Blind Lying in the dark My only company the skeletal sound of tree limbs scraping against the window Huddled on a worn couch with tears of shame coursing down my cheeks Drawing a searing trail straight to my heart My mind reels from the devastation of realization The cursed blindness that prevented me from seeing the obvious The pain caused by a misspoken word Self doubt gnaws at me but I have to let go And I learn I will face tomorrow stronger and wiser with the knowledge that I am fallible © 2/11/00 by Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

The cursed blindness that prevented me from seeing the obvious The pain caused by a misspoken word Self doubt gnaws at me but I have to let go And I learn I will face tomorrow stronger and wiser with the knowledge that I am fallible --------------- excellent look within the soul gary...well written and expressed Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |
