Leaving Home

Leaving Home

Where is that long waiting?

Internal cries of deafening silence

bound up with obligation

of society past.

Did we get it wrong?

Was our pain actual

or perceived

by our broken mind?

Do all these people

really believe,

or will their heads spin round

in alarm and condemnation?

A submerged bomb

ticking by the years

has welled within us,

grown beyond our strength.

Detonated by frenzied turmoil,

our frailty has caused a storm,

our words casting such deep wounds

upon those who bind our life.

There seems no edge to this horror.

Unravelling at such speed,

our mind halts

in fear of running outside itself.

Life, they say, is waiting.

Her brightness reaching out,

willing to embrace all

of what we are.

But we cannot touch her.

We cannot bear to see her face.

Her smile will burn us

into dust.

Our way is barred by freedom.

The constraints that bound us,

held us safe

in fear.

((((walker))))..........what a journey you have made since writing this.xxxx From paralysing fear, to finding, gradually, day by day, belief of others, love, care, understanding and support.xxxx

The whole is, as we have come to expect, a Masterpiece......intuitive, hard edged, but bathed, in your brilliant insight.......these four lines however are nothing short of BRILLIANT.......so many connotations spanning so many events and time periods........the working man's mantra, voice of the Oppressed!!.

If you haven't already received Goddess status.....it's long overdue.

Thank you for making (at least) one more life enriched by your Talent.

How wrong you are silly rabbit :)

Can you seriously expect inferior minds to appreciate a Rembrant when there is a picture of a furry rabbit alongside it?......sadly the sheep are multiplying and watching "reality" shows in their millions.........true beauty and quality (sadly) remain the preserve of the few...........what lucky few we are, when you provide such quality for free :wub: :wub:
