Array ( [sid] => 116328 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => esprit de l'escalier [time] => 2006-03-13 05:49:53 [hometext] => Just to get you all thinking... make of it what you will, feedback will be much appreciated! I don't want to say too much about the poem, as it is what you as readers take from it which is important and what i am most interested in........................ [bodytext] => The candle glows and the music persistently interferes with fragile thoughts.
Yet the confusion remains, the delicate state of mind with no direction or cause.
And faith crudely reveals of all that has been lost,
Worthy?

Acceptance slowly turns negative, with motivation being lost at every stage.
Self-concept is no longer important; and all control has disappeared.
Expectations and the threat of judgement makes a person feel unfamiliar,
A stranger, sits and thinks, disappointed.

Powerful is the understanding of unspoken words, is it all fading to soon?
Drifting away, floating away in a dark recess of mind.
Circumstantial influence should never displace responsibility,
And there is the realization that things must change.

Anxious for the future, will things alter?
Guilt for the past intrudes on all things positive.
But then, on the edge of reason perspective takes over,
And the callous crashing of the waves is reminiscent of purpose.
