No rest for me tonight; tired with the bright sharp pains that come sometimes as brief reminders of mortality. Tongues of Southern rains rattle through these open windows, and I feel the smallest animals scurry through the brush, hoping their soft sounds will be missed by shadow hunters stalking their next meals. I don't have to imagine, there are no deals to make with any disembodied supernatural force, no anodyne seems to scare away the pale horse pacing just beyond my range of sight. On nights as this, I fail at being made of ice and stone; it isn't that I fear being alone, it is the ache, the cold deep ache that would... if only... if I could... touch your hand and press it to my heart, and sleep the dreamless sleep I lost with innocence. ©2004 by icebox |

Cool! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

icebox - a very sad write and I'd better go before I cry. It's just life though, isn't it? |

This is beautifully done, the crashing of mortality in small night sounds. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Icebox, I haven't been around much lately and don't know how much time I'll have for today, but I could not help but take the time for this one. I don't think I've read a better example of a visual emotion than the above. Just a few simple words arranged in flawless manner have written a book here; and many of us have read that book, crying, when we embrace our own innocence again. bravo.  ...jo |

"I don't have to imagine, there are no deals to make with any disembodied supernatural force, no anodyne seems to scare away the pale horse pacing just beyond my range of sight." But we do catch glimpses....just often enough, eh? Great write Boxdude! |
