That Dreadful Thread.

So here we are, our feet dangling so, over the edge;

To and fro.

 It came to this, dangerous bliss, you and me;

Swinging, swinging from this weeping tree. 

 Once upon a time long lost; You stood and shouted,

and paid the cost. 

 And here we are, side by side, laughter fading from the ride. 

Its over, all over. 

 No need to fear, for once in this world I am here;

Maybe, one day, I will come to stay. 

 Though for now, here I Shadow;

Twisting, taunting. Sadness.

 I feel, yes. I feel. 

Emotions breezing through the soul like a drug. 

 Oh, wondeous, deep consuming.

I miss it, back there, back there. 

 In that far away world that has never been touched by a physical hand. 

But touched it has been all the same.

 Oh, loved, thoes times, thoes memories. 

 We weep, all inside;

Only even giving a moment of hesitation before we open our windows.

 Waiting, a ghostly tendrill to seep through the crack once again. 

Why cant we forget, move on, no regrets, change the song. 

 I know I am not alone, 

but we are so far apart;

 Love, lust, curious, trust -

So, so far away. 

 When will we see the masked faces again, 

the tight rope chimes, tighly aching. 

 Left alone, trees shed. 

The glitter sits agaist the grass, water lappping;

 Remember, remember - 

Never surrender; Keep dreaming, seeing, believing. 

 And one day, maybe we shall be again. 

Fly over the crowds and laugh with the Vixen in us all. 

 Names unknown, and said all the same, 

rolling our dice of fortune. 

 Loving. Missing. 

Remembering that game.

Do you remember? How could I ever forget.

[An owl on the moon]

How you paint with the richest colors of emotion... the bright lit reds and yellows of passion and summer... the dark blues and greys of cold nights.. of distance... You so brilliantly take us all on that painful journey... and the hope that it isn't over... Now we all remember through you.. Powerful.
