[QUOTE="Bhryn Astairre, post: 2562171"] [b]Solace[/b] [font=times new roman][color=purple] "You have to go there to come back," I recall you once said to me. But never gave me any directions or a map, Just pointed and set me free. It's odd some of the things people say When they don't watch what they mean. A simple phrase becomes all too astray So in turn, meaning turns unclean. If words and phrases were built up and about In the same world as you and I. Then they would be a lover's shout Or perhaps the moth whispering by. They would be loud or small but ever Murmured continually in sense. Holding onto the spaces between forever And now. The words are dense Thrown between the pages of books Magazines and articles of the faith. Some funny people can throw in funny looks When I paraphrase myself. Wraith Monologues designed for my mouth alone Can juxtapose against another line of thought. But still I cannot understand a song, Why the music makes words so fraught With deep emotion. "No man Is an island" comes back to my mind. Do they mean just men alone, or can It mean women in a broad term and time? I'm not alone, I am sure, someone in this world Must share my absolute despair of the language. It doesn't fit my tongue, or behold Unto me the sacraments of dead religion. I'd give A lot of money for you to come back And tell me what you meant. I don't know where to go, where to start slack Or strong. Did you even know why you sent Me away? I bet you didn't. The point is, crafter of words and meaning, I have looked and come back. Isn't This life but a life we dream? I went away and found a dream, a solace From the everyday life and when I return There is only the hustle, bustle and race That we immerse ourselves in. Burn All those books! I won't hear slander Such as that. Take time And find another world to sink into. After all, it is the only crime, That we fail to come back, because we do not go. ~ Bhryn ~ [/color][/font][color=purple][/color] [/QUOTE]
