There's a photo frame standing empty I stare at it for hours Just hoping to paint the picture That spreads a certain light around But fate has something else in store I'm left with torn memories And each time I try to patch them A missing element mocks me And so I travelled a thousand days ago And found that perfect picture But each time i captured it in frame It simply just dissappeared So i moved again this time a thousand days ahead To paint the perfect picture To find that missing someone But painfully i realize I'm left with lifeless thoughts There is no perfect picture Still hard for me to finish My dreams are all undone while things around are strange And that's the picture....not perfect Now firmly in the frame And even if it were to set free The images will still remain If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light...

My friend, this hits home all to much, I thought I had a picture perfect once. And it fell to dust. My heart to you, we have traveled the same path. This is a great expression on this path. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

In a way it is sad that perfect picture always seems to change and disappear, but life is just like that. I like this a lot Avanti. I do !  |

Thanx joel, danny, munda, lone wolf and janet for reading and appreciating. I'm glad you liked it and sorry for replying so late If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |
