Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of
paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them
during the night before they get away.

Angst

December 31st, 2001

I feel your pull.
I see the love you offer,
The peace you hold out
But I look around.
I see the rejection,
The pain, I feel it.
How could you allow this?
God of Love? God of peace?
God of pain. God of distance.
God of confusion and despair.
If I accept, will you
Reject me right away, or will
You wait awhile?
So I keep my own distance.
