A question

September 28, 2007

What good is a beautiful crystal

with no light to complement or sparkle through it?

What good is a mirror

with no image to reflect back?

How pretty is a rose bud

who’s stem is dry as bone?

How sweet is chocolate

left abandoned on the shelf of a long closed gift shop?

Why does the pain still ache

when you are numb and frozen to the core?

What good is midnight’s promise of sunrise coming

to a soul long wandering in twilight’s perpetual maze?

    Lovely, and very provocative of thought. Keep writing.

    By the way, twilight is the most interesting part of the day; it creates a multitude of shades of grey that you won’t see at any other time. Bright color is highly overrated.

    As for mazes, they are marvelous places to wander in. And remember, there are usually at least two ways out; the exit, and the entrance (it’s always a good idea to keep in mind how you came to be in the place you find yourself). There’s also a third way, if you happen to have a friend who owns a helicopter =).
