Two, Lb.
Your absense is loud.
The shades of light.

Ahhh, an ally, and a weapon:

Haunted

Cold sheets of grey ice
Lonely in the silence there

Commitments are broken

Communication between people,
It is my passion.
The sadness:

Quote:

The Sound Of Silence
Paul Simon
© 1964

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

It is not everyones choice, luckily.

Maxwell Smart should say.."would you believe" if I tell you that I didn´t come back to this post? It is a wonderful surprise, really.

Thank you for your comments and yes, plis, Britt change the pics if you like this more. Hope you get the message, when you asked it was so long ago!

Thank you all really. And about Simon & Garfunkel, would you mind if I add this:

"I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To england where my heart lies.

My mind’s distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you’re asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And as a song I was writing is left undone
I don’t know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can’t believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go i."

I am quite sad these days for someone who´s going far away, and I can´t help help relating everything to that event, sorry! :o)

Many, maaany kisses!
