There are times when I remember, life is clear and thoughts run free, other times I am encumbered by the cost of keeping up another’s soft reality. I awoke for one brief moment, alive in the knowing who and why and when I am, my soul remembered dancing freely without the pains or chains of age on lilting strains and airs of memory, with scents that linger softly in a mind that had recovered thoughts of freedom and design. I realized in time that tears of joy may taste as bitter as the darkest tears of rage, within me I acknowledged scribbled answers marked within a note of wishes upon a torn out page; to know your light has brought a clarity, a path to simple answers, truth’s catalyst for lies, where thoughts before only existed in my tired desperate dreams, I turned there and in that moment understood a masterpiece of sunsets had paled before your eyes. ©2005 by icebox |

"I realized in time that tears of joy may taste as bitter as the darkest tears of rage" tasting this, and feeling it, in my own way that last stanza whispers to me |
