My Nightmares

Byron · Post by **Byron** » Sat Jul 12, 2003 12:27 am

My nightmares chase me through the night
My darkness is the waking light

Swing the axe
Pull the rack
I’ll attempt a different tack

I’m nailed to my heart
My hope is my prison

I’m going over the edge
And you’re too mean to wave goodbye

I like this one, Byron. Such a succinct portrayal of the problem that simply living poses for a sensitive person, who cannot help becoming emotionally involved in the suffering of those around them. Life would be so much simpler if we just didn't care - but then what would be the point

Thank you. We can only learn from what we see and hear and feel. The learning process is rewarding but painful, and sometimes brutal. I abhorr brutality in any form and although it causes extremely uncomfortable experiences, I try to learn from those feelings. The operative word here is 'try,' which doesn't even come close to a definitive description of swimming through and against a sludge of human angst and insensitivity. Thanks once again. Byron 'sends his regards'.

A little bird asks if you had a good holiday?

Thanks to Byron's little bird for the enquiry. Yes, I had a wonderful holiday, the undoubted highlight of which was meeting Lizzytysh and her friend Ron. We got back very early Sunday morning, and the british weather came as a terrible shock. I'm sitting here swathed in blankets, trying to catch up with three week's worth of postings before jet-lag kicks in again and my brain seizes up. I'm also playing a constant random selection of LC tracks to ease the withdrawal symptoms after three weeks spent among non-LC-enthusiasts. (The weekend spent with Lizzy doesn't count, as we couldn't get to a CD player.)

It's getting late even by Florida time, and my bewildered body is starting to demand some downtime, so goodnight ladies......

Officially now, welcome back to the Forum, linmag

~ the timeframe being quite totally

off, as to my anticipation of your return

. I mentioned you long ago on here somewhere! Well, at least what feels like long ago! It was wonderful having my first, Internet-meeting experience with you and your delightful troupe! Your and your friends' children are amazing! Ron's comment was, "What's really neat is that they're [all] the kind of people I like to hang out with, anyway." Yes, you're right, it is getting late with Florida time and I'm about to follow suit, with you, absent the British weather. Goodnite
