Yes. I don´t usually like that stuff. My daughter use to hang out with the musical group, should probably not say which one. It made me nuts! They are good people, but the music often made me scratch my head and wonder what´s wrong with being in tune. LOL. Actually, some of it was pretty good, but some of it was waaay out there! And little of the lyric made sense to me. The female vocalist was absolutely awesome, but much of what she sang was in Latin, on top of the fact that it made little sense in English! I was so glad when my daughter got over that infatuation and came back to earth! No offense to goth, but its like flying...I prefer my feet on the ground.

Your verse made sense to me without too much effort. I have a good friend who talks about an out of body experience that she had after a car accident. And I have seen my mom have something happen once that was very similar to that. Plus, when my sister had cancer surgery 20 yrs ago, she was completely aware of what the doctors were saying and doing even though she was put under by anesthesia. The doctors couldn´t understand how she was able to repeat what she heard during that surgery. But she knew everything about it. Levels of consciousness are interesting to me, and because of some very strange happens I have seen with my own eyes, it is hard for me to overlook the idea that there are links in this life that can surpass proximity and ordinary awareness. Life is indeed strange, and your grasp of some parts of it is not without significance. Does that make sense......

Yes.
It does make sense.
Once not too long ago, isn't that how some good fairy tales start, I could tell what direction my closest friends were in.
I could 'feel' where they were.
Now I don't feel that, they're all gone.
Or as one thing I wrote said, "I've thrown first earth on the shrouds of too many friends."
Unfortunately, just because they're dead doesn't mean they don't bother me.
My closest friend still bothers me in dreams.
She laughs and asks, "How did you get along without us before?"
Guess it's a reminder that I had a life before they came into mine.

A good portion of what I write deals with the loss of friends, and the shattering of a personality in freefall.
"The spinning shards of me glitter like so many tears falling in the void"
(perpetually unfinished as I don't like where it is going or what it implies.)

I did end one with the Latin comment: Nox Aeturnus en Pax.
(Night eternal in peace, as a direct literal translation.)

a flight of fancy in a child's eye
to see a brief glimpse of days gone by
she stood alone on the gulf of forever
black winged and robed the tears fell
a memory of pain and things that can never be
to sit back and count all the days gone by

'All the days gone by'
