Night Vision
Sitting here at five in the morning, most everyone is still asleep except for the sad,
lonely and the retched. Suddenly I hear voices and as i step out to investigate i hear
the sound of two people who seem to be struggling to maintain a relationship. From the
words I hear it sounds as though it may be vanishing into the rubble of lost love.From
there where I stood i could hear the frustration. she is saying I do everything for you
and you want more and more.I hear Him criticizing Her very being till she begs for just a
small moment of peace. I am no longer able to hear His comments but I don't have to.
As I walk away so as not to invade their privacy, i suddenly realize it was not so long
ago I had the very same struggle.It comes to me that I as a man and we as men seem to have
this overwhelming tendency to control our women. WE must always be on the alert for the
wolf for he will take her away. so we often try to manipulate our women's minds.we twist
all manor of situations. We create confusion. We make them feel bad about themselves.
Suddenly I realize it is we who drive away the thing we love the most, thus leaving Her
to the wolf. It is I/we who have lost, because that's not love.
So i sat there going over all the twist and turns that has now left me alone and sad. i
think to myself if I remember what I have learned, love may someday be mine to have, but
I know it's an illusion.
Hearing crying that got louder and louder till I realized it was me, Somehow I knew it
was the sound of all of us. WE who walk endless, going nowhere, living in a moment in
time that has already past and seemingly never to return. All i could do was scream from
my soul for all of us. WE ARE SO SORRY!
