dear sinister i'm afraid i'm in distress tonight. for months now i've been having idealistic dreams for the future, nothing definite, just crazy fantasies of endless mountains and far-reaching blazing skies of clouds and a moon that will traverse across it on an endless journey to the break of dawn. i'm a dreamer. i'm an artist without her art. the foundation for my life was laid thousands of sunsets ago, golden hopes of inspiration and profound influences of well-behaved support were instilled in my being. where did it all go? why is music so easy to fall in love with and why is it when the man of my DREAMS comes along and has to turn my restless ocean of tortured emotions into a calm sea of pretty pictures? where is the movement of the thirsty soul? what is left but the darkening gray sky of the future evening? sure the thunderstorm left us in awe, but what happened to the bright-flash-wow of the lightning? did we all put on our shades and look to the left while all the right reasons catapulted forward? i'm starting to talk abstractly. perhaps i have been this whole time. but it's something. maybe you think it's nothing. i really couldn't care less what you think it is, and that is why i keep bouncing these shaking fingertips across these plastic buttons of logic and order called a keyboard. it's symbolic of how i feel at this moment though. fuzzy. unclear. forsaken. if i were to talk to a real person right now, no doubt i'd cry. silly isn't it? if someone were to see me crack right now it's almost as if there would be no glue to fix it. so i'll just write to all you sinisterines...whether you give a good damn or not. there is comfort in getting something off your chest and not seeing the other's facial expression, not having to deal with their immediate sentiments if they do not jive with your own at the time. i'm listening to "air" right now. which could be a bad thing... luck and unhappy. that's the song that just came on. how fitting. i should listen to something else right now...like abba or some other shallow pop band that only sounds best when not pronouncing an actual word. hmm. i'll shut up now. and i'll apologize if you're an abba fan. i am fan too really. well sort of. right. ---your mountain mama sweetheart X "The differences between what you hope for and what you end up receiving are part of what makes the outside, the hoped for, worthwhile...and beautiful." ---the Lovely Lou http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
