I am a spiders web
I am lace
without support, without substance
that is all I am; that is everything;
I am not free, not ever
You are my frame
You are a foundation
something I cling to and hold
because
without you, I crumble
It is silly to reduce myself to that
when I and you have seen were
human, whole, people
or at least the bodies of people
breathing and living
but sometimes I feel like less
This is not a love poem
for those words have not escaped my lips
but without you I feel
like a leaf without a tree
like I may float out to sea and just wait
and nothing will happen, and I will rot
alone

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

I really was not expecting to get such a constructive comment less than three minutes after I posted this. I really, really appreciate it.

Und meine Seele spannte
Weit ihre Flügel aus,
Flog durch die stillen Lande,
Als flöge sie nach Haus.

Great piece, RD. I love the way you write! Like it comes through you from yesterday and tomorrow, not just today.

I went to see your pictures...I spread them across the floor...
So this is where they are shown...Now they're probably saying to you...
If you keep it up you'll be born. --Jane's Addiction
