things only seem to be what they are <br />when they try so hard to convince <br />they ask the help of light to cast some shadows <br />and if they can only speak they will say: <br /> <br />'you see, i am true <br />i am real, i am casting a shadow' <br />in my doubt, i touch a thing in you <br />there is nothing there but only a thing <br />and i tell you <br /> <br />'you are only a thing with a shadow <br />i haven't touched a heart' <br />and then i hear the silence <br />and then there was calm and quiet<br /><br />RIC S.
