a laugh by richard poor Tuesday, December 17, 2002 Share Print Save Become a Fan the night in sullen silence descends as if the axe to cut the ties that bind for what the soul does lack, that in this journey where in the end is learned of truth and what mattered was all that was ever spurned, for i alone chose this life to always make my own path so when the end does come i will just have me a laugh.

yes, you 'chose' your path, richard...this one pierces the heart, a bit...i wonder about that laugh, oh, how i wish you many...laughs, but, powerful piece...'of truth and what mattered /was all that was ever spurned'/you see, maybe, just maybe...this 'choice' was influenced by 'circumstance'...i ...this, again, richard, moves me, i...i thisnk you need the 'laugh' and that darkness, yes, it does descend like 'an axe' and, ah, but you write with the intensity that is your 'truth' to you...see the laughter whenever you can...and the light, i hope, for you...and many, will come, again...and not the 'spurn'...some raw write, beautifully done, sigh...
