Hello darkness, my old friend; I've come back to dwell again. I pushed my way through happy smiles and walked about a thousand miles. We meet whenever I feel down and all those smiles look like frowns; we always seem to meet this way and I never really want to stay. I'll pull myself out of this ditch if I could find that damn light switch

Snap snap snap of the fingers
That's deep, I like it

Thank you

I really like your poem, it's inspiring...

to each our journey from dark to light
words and souls connect in the night
we meet to compare, then to cast away
frowns run from smiles we greet every day

"Frowns run from smiles," now that is inspiring! Thank you :) Funny, I've never had any of my poems described as inspiring!

There is always light at the end of a tunnel.

Now I have Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" stuck in my head!

Lyrics for you Equiv.....

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 dared
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 sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

The song... Recorded in 1966!!

Ha! That's insane Leigh! I think I've only ever heard of Simon and Garfunkle :)

Probably before you were born!! Pretty though, isn't it

Thanks for the memory Equiv!
