you have been here <br />you must remember <br />i am back and i shall <br />have no regrets <br />this is my hiding place <br />with no description <br />it is only you knowing this <br />knowing me <br />knowing what is this all about <br />this comfort of silence <br />this longing unsatisfied <br />this dreams unrealized <br /> <br />nature does not weep <br />it simply grows and blooms <br />like everybody else <br /> <br />you and i do not belong <br />to the open <br />we are not overlooking <br />the sea <br />we are inside this cave <br />deep down in its dampness <br />we are shadows <br />we weep because we are alive <br /> <br />we ask when and what next <br />we wait for there is no answer yet <br />this is our hiding place <br />this place of the heart <br />this beating and pumping <br />never-ending never gaining <br />anything <br />yet never losing too <br />gazing at the eyes of life <br />uncomplaining <br />uncompromising <br /> <br />if nature now weeps <br />so let it be <br />soon we shall know <br />its answer <br />perhaps after this <br />heavy rain<br /><br />RIC S.
