Why does the song " Tomorro" from the play " Annie" resound in my head?

A brief interlude... those drive ya' crazy because you intuitively know that it is brief and that too is maddning. Because you know that the darkness will return. It is almost like you welcome it, as the familiar, something that you are acquainted with, though it drives you crazy. Yes, madness fits this little piece very well, and you captured the sense of it very well. :0)Strawberry Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03395571842364752995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635752818915624910.post-67774910207305940792009-05-10T12:42:00.000-07:002009-05-10T12:42:00.000-07:00@Gerry Boyd & Quwwa & Claudia: WELCOME to ...@Gerry Boyd & Quwwa & Claudia: WELCOME to my site and thanks for staying connected with my blog space!CathMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143141734424055810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635752818915624910.post-6058746486191320312009-05-10T12:40:00.000-07:002009-05-10T12:40:00.000-07:00@Lilly J: Yes... in the world of mad thoughts ther...@Lilly J: Yes... in the world of mad thoughts there are lots of contradictions of feelings, emotions and perceived reality... which often overwhelms and plunges one into a strange and uncertain ‘darkness’. Thanks for your comments!<br /><br />@Linda S: Indeed, I think that the ‘good times’ are so much richer because of the ‘madness’ (smile). Yes – I beseech the gods for more ‘cleansing rain’... more, more, more!<br /><br />@Sandy (Vancouver, Canada): Thank you for popping by and leaving a comment. It’s much appreciated :)<br /><br />@Cynthia: Hmmmmm... I wish I knew how to share less of myself in my poems, me thinks (lol). Perhaps, it’s why I tend not to post poetry so much (I prefer hiding behind the characters of my short stories) but I’ve been pretty preoccupied lately and so haven’t been in the right head space to pen a short story... hope to do so again soon. In the meantime, it’s the poetry that’s flowing! As always, it’s great to get such a generous comment from an admirable poet such as yourself. Thank you!<br /><br />@Christopher: Funny, how poetry seems to find its fodder from one’s worldview (life experiences and reality :)<br /><br />@Printemps: Ah – you take all the time you need to meditate on this one (smile)... I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you’re ready to give them. And, thanks for the Sunday wishes (it’s been a pretty chilled day for me :) Hope yours has been a good one!CathMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143141734424055810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635752818915624910.post-37986727527576502132009-05-10T07:46:00.000-07:002009-05-10T07:46:00.000-07:00Cath, I need sometime to meditate on this poem - I...Cath, I need sometime to meditate on this poem - I hope you understand.<br /><br />I will come back on this...<br /><br />Have a wonderful Sunday!Printempshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383143211224116563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635752818915624910.post-43081828937060147902009-05-09T07:51:00.000-07:002009-05-09T07:51:00.000-07:00A lovely poem and so very sad.

Perhaps it is because the blackness watches and waits to ensnare, that the Sun hovers and glares. An unwanted guest maybe, but it (the sun) is a Protector shielding you from the turmoil within. It takes just one ray of light to chase away the darkness. <br /><br />LJIJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946255354410667582noreply@blogger.com
