I was not here the day when all around went away i was alone on my world all but none i saw or heard In the darkness i was hid In the moon with no belief And the spaces in the sky went awqay as i walked by How was i know to know On the day was inoncence That went down and faraway beyond the light of dawns day That eerie day nature screamed and the light of evil streamed and the goodness went to stay In one of the galaxys far far away The light is in me small and dim but its light comes from within And now my hope has blown away On the wind of the final bitter days 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. |

Very moving my friend. your sig., is one of my best, I still keep 8 tracks of originals. Keep that dim light within for it does shine. With a brilliance you can't see. But we see it. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

I was not here the day when all around went away i was alone on my world all but none i saw or heard In the darkness i was hid In the moon with no belief And the spaces in the sky went awqay as i walked by ------------- The light is in me small and dim but its light comes from within And now my hope has blown away On the wind of the final bitter days -------------- well you KNOW I love this one..right? (smile) this is SO excellent...and one of my favs by you...and that last stanza...PERFECTION. and I love seing those kind of replies from the others...makes me right ...I like being right you shine in the darkeness my poetic friend... and you shine from with in...but definatly NOT dim... take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Innocence can be a grieviuos thing to bear, alone. Especially when the world thinks you guilty. I have felt this way, almost look forward to those bitter ending days. Great poem Walter. Michael |
