The concert would not begin for another four hours and most had spent the night, hoping to be the first through the doors when they opened for general admission. Standing alone in the crowd, he dreaded the rush and mass confusion that would soon follow, but he knew his dedication would pay off. Jammed in the mass of anxious humanity, his foot began to tap, 1~2~3~4 1~2~3~4. No one noticed, nor would they care. To everyone around, he was just another nameless face, a shell without a soul, an inconsequential contribution to life, filler to make the world look busy. 1~2, he paused, 3~4 much faster. 1~2, again, 3~4, another!

The sun is shining......
Thank you Lord.
I mean it is shining: the sky and
everything is warm and smiling.
But it is not only that......
my heart is smiling.
I know I am loved......
and that I love too.
Thank you Lord, the sun is shining.

Lying flat on her face she tasted the dirt on which she lay. The dirt mixed with her blood dripping from her mouth and the tears streaming down her face. Frightened and unable to rise up from the useless heap of humility she had become she wondered, "How did I come to this place? How could I have sunk so low?"

"NO!" He sat up with a start, forcing himself awake. He must have dozed off for the first time in what seemed an eternity. Even his dreams had become his enemies and sleep was no longer a safe harbor for his weary soul.

"Honey, are you okay?" his wife called from the hallway.

"Go away! Leave me alone!" he yelled.

"Is there something I can..."

Before she could finish, he picked up a priceless lamp and hurled it across the room. It hit the wall, shattering it into a thousand pieces.

"I SAID GO AWAY!" he screamed.

I am the great sun, but you do not see me.
I am your husband, but you turn away.
I am the captive, but you do not free me,
I am the captain you will not obey.
