In this pre-dawn haze of aches and pains, just glad the rains have gone, for now, with cold descending grinding through the icy purple ridge line of the ancient coming sun, my brain is organizing hated chemicals to blunt the razor shards, the broken bottle edges, my body’s recollections of what it costs to move in fits and starts across the stage of life; my mind sits in the shadows, sidelined, a tired jester, capuchin clown to the crowds of voices echoing in the galleries in the theater of my memories; as much as pain distracts, it gives me early mornings to spend alone with my own ghosts, before the living in my little world awake to claim my time. ©2005 by icebox |

Funny how I love my solitude, but it took years of lonliness to finally realize the importance of this time and space. Loved this write Ice. Carpe' Diem |

Every night...every single night of the world. A different balance sheet but the same reckoning, the pain from different sources, but still the kind aspirin can't find...and the ghosts...different too, and you'd be amazed if I named some of them, but a haunting nonetheless. We're three time zones part, but in some ways very, very close. |

"as much as pain distracts, it gives me early mornings to spend alone with my own ghosts, before the living in my little world awake to claim my time." No such thing as coincidence, I've heard. Always insightful. .....jo |

"my mind sits in the shadows, sidelined, a tired jester, capuchin clown to the crowds of voices echoing in the galleries in the theater of my memories" wonderful as always...  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
