A Conversation for A Refuge and Retreat ....

A Cave .....

Post 1

I am no-one

Found in the upper slopes of the hills over looking a bay. The entrance occluded by nearly dead shrubbery, the colors muted browns and grays. Within, no living creature has been for centuries.

The perfect place to simply leave the world to it's own. Solitude in space, as real as the absence of anyone in life.

Peace.

*sigh* 8:30 already.

Leaves the cave, arranging the clutter at the entrance. Descending, grudgingly wanders off to face reality, 'people' and work.

Returns for a couple hours of solitude, with a CD of soothing Gregorian chants and the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe. An author of such depth, to be read over, and over, and over.

Cal - interim high priest of the Church of the Holy Tail

once upon on midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
Over a quaint and curious of forgotton lore
while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenlt there came a tapping
As some one gently rapping rapping at my chamber door
tis some visitor I muttered tapping at mt chamber door only this and nothing more

Ah distincly I remeber it was in the bleak december
And each separte dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly I wished the morrow vainly I had sought tp borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow sorrow for the lost Lenore
For the rare and radiant maiden whom angels name lenore
Nameless here for evermore

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before
so that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
Tis some visitor entrating entereance at my chamber door
Some late visitor entreaing entrance at my chamber door
This it is and nothing more

Leaving everything behind for who-ever, departs.

Nice while it lasted, though.
