klawdees wrote this in honor of md's birthday and asked me to post it on the forum.

spirit of the madman

he was tempted to keep on walking
or maybe he actually did
and sank down into the road
that silences life and death

and further into the fiery earth
where the spirits draw their peace
where they don’t care for names
where fact is just a disease

lungs drinking thirsty the dust
keeping path, he ignores his distrust
and perceives neither comfort nor wrath

seeing only silence
feeling it master his form
following only his path
awaiting only his birth

passing through time that isn’t time
at a crossroads that is endless

It happens that the day after I wrote this, I spilled coffee on my laptop, dealing it its death blow.  So now I have a different computer.

As a result, I can see the forum.  I am debating whether to re-block it once I set up the filters on the new computer.

Thank you Zleiphneir for posting this.
