Psimon Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 Long road ahead ********************* The long road ahead is waiting for you. It waits in silence, stretching for miles. It watches you with millions of cold white eyes. It waits for you, waits in black silence. It makes no remark as you pass by. No comment on how you look today. No questions, no "So, how are you doing today?" It will not pass comment on your choice of clothing, though black is the new red, nor will it have an opinion on your hairstyle or how your tears have made your mascara run. The road ahead is very accepting. It will accept all who pass over it, even welcome some to stop a while. Yes, the road is very accepting. It will accept the broken glass, the twisted metal, the splintered plastic. It will accept the bone fragments, the raw flesh, the blood drying slowly. Oh yes, the road is very accepting. It will accept the broken and twisted lives of your loved ones as they slip away to walk the rest of the way, alone. The rest of the way down the long road ahead. The rest of the way back home.
Peredhil Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 There is a seed here, jagged and raw. But, like the doubled today in stanza three, this one just didn't sing to me. But then, my feedback isn't the law.
