tonight when the world is asleep <br />someone knocks at your door <br />and you open it. You tell him <br /> <br />'welcome, i have been expecting you... <br />i am sorry, i have neglected you.. <br />for so long...come, and make yourself <br />comfortable. Sit here beside me <br />Let us have a drink, and some smoke <br />and let us, for once eat together...' <br /> <br />you look at the face of that stranger <br />slowly and carefully you map out the <br />the similarities, disregarding the old <br />differences... <br /> <br />deep inside you, you like this stranger.. <br />It is you. It is now. You have accepted <br /> <br />Yourself. You are drinking with its truths. <br />You are eating its realities.You have <br /> <br />finally become one with Yourself, and <br />tonight, it is time to party.<br /><br />RIC S.
