a poem I wrote
When sight betrays you.
When what you hear is not under control. What fights the madness? Lying prone in the bedroom I do not know Yet I fight on. The problem stems from the maddening beauty in the world. To understand all one must do is look to the heavens. With careless art God paints a spectacle, And I shake when it touches my heart. This beauty urges me to live. Yet my heart That loves and hurts Runs amok The images too powerful - Out of control. So I lie in my bedroom – fighting Wishing the world was less bright, Less noisy Sane and cold. |

There is alot of wonderful ideas in those passages. Perhaps more prose than poem. Thank you for sharing it.

Probably not the original rogue@cellar.org, after all.

Translation, Rogue Winter was one of the original Cellar users, a kind-hearted and quite intelligent soul. Anyone who knew the "original" RW was probably thinking this one might be the same, but it is not... no disrespect.

no disrespect
I remember Rogue Winter from the days when the Cellar ran on an
Unix platform. I thought the name was really cool and used it. No disrespect to the original. |
