I see her,
In the shadows
illuminated by that eternal candle
I am drawn to her

Looking back, I see
the world in chaos.
Overrun by corruption,
People isolated.

I look at my life
Insignifigant;
Untouched, alone
Only my batterd mind to turn to.

I see her,
In the shadows
illuminated by that eternal candle
I am drawn to her.

The mind becomes,
a breeding ground for self-destruction.
As the heart weakness,
and the soul fades.

I move closer to her
No reasons to turn back
Pain overcomes the essence,
and shatters the soul.

I see her,
In the shadows
illuminated by that eternal candle
I am drawn to her.

I walk forward,
on the dark road; alone.
Light behind me,
only the calming darkness in front.

Flashbacks,
embarassment siezes my being
All the memories of forlornness
demand the capitulation of my sanity

I see her,
in the shadows
illuminated by that eternal candle
I am drawn to her

My body and soul move closer
to the sister of hades;
Death
A welcoming site

I leave everything behind
ready to cross over,
to leave the agony,
the agony of Isloation

I see her
In the shadows
illuminanted by that eternal candle
I am drawn to her

Halfway, Between realities
My name is called
By a gathering

New faces,
unfamiliar yet captivating
Wanting my return
and offerings of understandment and true friendship

I see her
fading back into the shadows
Moving away from me
I am still drawn

In the middle,
I move toward Death
The gathering expresses
their concern

Four voices rise above,
Turning back I see
the four yearning for my return
My heart and soul weep happiness, at last

I see her
fading back into the shadows
Moving away from me
I no longer desire

I abandon my search
for Death, and go back
1 Pain begining to leave
as I look into their eyes and see joy

The gathering restore my soul and mind
but the four restore
my vacant heart; making it whole
and making my pain vanish into the shadows.




 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dhuron~ This made me feel sad.....I'm not even sure why. I guess I wonder if he was happy with his choice? Or sad that he had the choice to make.....-SEA
