Retiring from the world My eyes have seen blood spilled in every direction Feet weary from all sites I have seen Nothing left for me to find I have witnessed the creation of life I suffered through posthumous ceremonies Hate found its' way into my heart once Though it left as soon as it came Tears have caressed my cheeks to many times to count Madness bore a hole into my spine Forgiveness flowed from my veins At times I feel like a statue Frozen in time, begging my limbs to kick this rigor mortis Glided through the turbulance as if I was an ace pilot What is left when you can already see tomorrow The only thing my poor body has never felt is true love A love so pure the marble around me would crack Yet it seems this will never be Without love all that I have seen is meaningless Without love a statue I will stay Perched up high watching the world go by Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

Without love all that I have seen is meaningless Without love a statue I will stay Perched up high watching the world go by a place we've all seen and felt at time, but indeed not to give up or turn our heads to, because, there is and always will be love...and lives astounding us by grabbing us by the frays of our collars and pulling us back up, every single time.... astounding write |

"What is left when you can already see tomorrow" *sigh* now you've got me sitting crossed legged again, contemplating (BTW, small technical error in this line: Tears have caressed my cheeks to(o) many times to count.  ) |

Love is really all around us if we but look and see. It is in the many little things I see my neighbor do for others, it is in a child's smiling face. It is in one act of kindness from a stranger to another, and I have witnessed that too. We have to look outside our own lives and if we seek, we will find it. best marty |
