The world spins
an incredable din
deafens the ears
burns and tears
stabs in the mind
destroying mankind
all around they cry
at the darkness
in the night sky
now we hurt
now we are blind
to the pains
in our minds
hurt goes on we defy
our minds don't hurt
now we don't cry
< !signature-->

  Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

its so nice to have "walter words" here today.
sad but true poem ...love the last lines...
words of wisdom.
take care, jm


 The stars shine so bright, now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face,
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close.
Now I will reach for the stars...
Because Oh my love, that's where you are...
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea...
vertical horizon

Too true Walter, too many people shut off all emotion and simply become living zombies.
Kill me, if I ever get that way.. for that is no way for anyone to live...
I love your insight, I really do..  

 There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self...
