" There are only two worlds -- your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. These worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters. Do you understand? ...

... deidre of the sorrows ( while i was reading my favourite comic book )
" beauty,
rendered in pencil.
shades of flowing gray veiled in mystery
i know your name, deirdre of the sorrows,
but it means little to me
ink on a page
words on my lips
nothing more
still, it hints at stories yet to be told
stories i wish to hear
maybe someday i'll ask
but for now, though i wring my hands in shame,
i am content to sit in awe
of a master craftsman's work. "
p/s : just happened to be another day ... with a good book.
