Behind an image on an authors page.
A face,
A life,
A different stage.
Perhaps you'll catch an eye, and see.
The pain,
The dark,
It's just not me.
I had position.
I had friends.
I throw a switch in my head,
And everything ends.
A name means something in the world of light.
But here...
Just words...
Not right.
I won't go away, and you can't make me.
But soon.
Very soon.
God will take me.

It's all a circle ......
Being from Belfast... i have fought in the streets
people dying for an idea.....this brought back those days ..
where no single person had a name or a face....
just one cause.. with two meanings....
...I won't go away,
...and you can't make me....
your words like children will live on after your passing..
here and beyond your name will live.
Poignant!
Great work my brother,
Lowell Poe.

This is so sad to me. God will take his one day and I'm sure we'll have names there too.

I saw you listed in wandika's favorites. greetings. I like this, it fits my mood. It is a classic, "Man's search for meaning." It seems so hard sometimes to keep relationships going...
Even the last one mentioned.........
