NIGHT SHADOWS

NIGHT SHADOWS

The Night brings a special silence
that quiets the strident noise of day
painful to a tired soul and dying spirit.
I look to the mysteries that the darkness holds
with eyes not blinded by the cacophony
of living.

There is a mystery in Night's darkness
a truth we seek but rarely see.
there is a calm in Night's shadows
that steadies the mind and opens the heart
to other possibilities of existence.

Joe

Once again a great write and well received,
One line to me didn't ring true where the Spirit is dying.
The Spirit lives always e'n to your last breath and beyond, this is in all religions and philosophies, and I don't think it is man's thoughts, but that part of the universe that lives for ever..
Yours as always Ian..

have you not noticed Joe

have you not noticed Joe

your typing has so much improved
not a spelling error
no missing of a comma
what in hell can Jess say
but cheers

but we all love him
for he does hammer too
without any fears
he favours none
not even you

Sir Joe hope they realize what you do do
and make a NOBEL for you...
my best wishes go out to you

Neopoet has made out of me a
POET too
to be too true
coz of Jess and You Esker Judy and partially Stan
BUT Ian is my iron man ...
Thank to all of you!
Gracious salutes!
