Without Light The light was gone the sun is down My face is long and set a frown I strained my eyes to pierce the stark But all I see are shadows dark My footsteps in the night are bold And each one cries aloud behold Its here I falter echoes cry The night is where the pitfalls lie And courage comes in lap and wave It prods me and the meaning brave Yet still I grope within the dark To listen for the meadowlark To find that firefly of light That moment of a perfect sight The one that stays the record book To make the mind to overlook What deity that stays a throne Would leave me in the dark alone |

And courage comes in lap and wave It prods me and the meaning brave Yet still I grope within the dark To listen for the meadowlark ~*~ The same one, Sir... that gives us no more than we can bear.    |

To find that firefly of light That moment of a perfect sight The one that stays the record book To make the mind to overlook What deity that stays a throne Would leave me in the dark alone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me sweet Sy-babers...you cant ever be in the dark...for you are the flame... and upon these moth wings is singed your name.  *ww*  Among the kingdom of the winds ... perhaps there is one of elegant mind, who has no need to intrude on the solitude of single things.

Hang on, sweetie... I'll send candles... and matches. *G* I liked this very much... both the obvious... and the greater question that lies beneath. *S* |

Sometimes he lets us walk...thinking we are alone...yet, we never really are...even when we stumble and fall. Thanx Sy. |
