From the wall he watches Does he expect the skyline to change Or tumble while he observes It's constant immobile silhouette; With it's fitful pinpoints of light, Dotting the inky towers of glass and steel From the sidewalk he watches The turning wheels never cease Shadow monsters loom large In many directions from their single Starting point at his feet Shouts from above the storefront Shatter the soundless noise of the city Shots ring out and sirens scream Echoing into the lonely night's Cavernous gloom From far above he watches The lights move slowly from here All is silent but for the giggles Of a couple, new in love Seeing all with a freshness he cannot grasp He raises his eyes to the night sky Full of depth but lacking answers He contemplates the passing of time Elapsed decisions He drops his eyes again to the concrete far below The lights beckon It is night and dark light fills his eyes. He is lost... DB ------------------ The moon was bright overhead when I reembarked in the pinnace to return to my ship. A chill night breeze came whispering down from the depths of the valley, and suddenly the place was full of ghosts,-shadows of men alive and dead,- my own among them. ========Mutiny on the Bounty==== ========Nordhoff and Hall==== |

DB...your dark light is shining! Oh..to look out onto the world with such longing and regret..beautifully stated. To tell you now a secret...Sssh... "He did not think he was lucky...he fed me to the wolves of despair." If only his eyes and heart could have looked upon those words of mine with such clarity and understanding as yourself. Thank-you DB for letting me read my words again. And to finally realize for myself...that I was in love all alone. Respectfully, Jenny Lee ------------------ Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

This one has me lost. Dunno what to say. I have been there in ways, in others I may never grasp. Very good, thank you so much. This has got me thinking again. ------------------ Garrett 'sneaky' Gall |
