dedalus Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 yellow spots come dancing here before my eyes, and to my mild surprise appear to be really green. This is one of the strangest things I think I've ever seen. I know that when they end, I end, alone again, with no defence, yet sense that every single thing could safely stop beyond the fence, and all may yet be right, if I can see the morning before I see the night.

fdelano Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 A mild surprise from Brendan the bold. Enjoyed and agree with the sentiments. Speculation: could yellow turning to green be a reference to an Irishman living in Japan? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 A bit o' fun. Reminds me of: "Before I lay me down to sleep... And if I die before I wake, I pray god my soul to take..." ;-) Juris Quote thegateless.org Come on over and check out my poetry substack y'all;-) Or if your bored, head to the Zazzle store: https://www.zazzle.com/store/gateless.

dedalus Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 A few small changes, most of them restoration of original lines & phrasing. I know it looks pretty simple ... but it is the opposite of simple to write! Cheers, Bren 新年おめでとうございます!
