Dark Thoughts If you knew what I know now You could see what I saw then If I could explain to you somehow You would see what I saw when Now I’m bound to the night Not knowing the light of day Stranded here without my sight In darkness left here to stay A careless act a foolish thought Surely a bad decision A life that’s left all for naught A man who has no vision Once I could see far and wide Now I stand here corrected Tap stick always at my side I left myself unprotected There were signs lots of advice But I didn’t heed the warnings Wore my glasses once or twice Now no sunrises in my mornings Can’t describe the sights I’ve seen Speak of wondrous places Discern the different shades of green See the smiling faces It hurts so to talk like this I can’t stand to linger Tears shed for what I’ll miss As I read this with my finger I’ll stop now I’ve spoke my mind Please don’t end up like me I hope that you don’t go blind Before you’ll learn to see ?rad050703 Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well said!.

As well agree with Mixtli!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Exposed and abandoned Alone and wounded Hounded and shrouded All it is and will be for long!. She stands high on the mountain Eyes staring as the fountain Of a hundred pearls gushed forth From eyes unseen and blinded!. Hand outstretched she remains A long lonely winter’s morn A warmth barely concealing Beneath her summers frost life and love she senses the elemental empress and all confess in collective thrall but dare not speak a word!. Gaze averted and they wonder At this heavenly splendour Set high atop a hill As time and world for her stood still Life goes on and she amazes As she wonders at her plight In darkest night and heavenly sun As the new dawn will soon comeWww@QuestionHome@Com |
