The Abyss, the Spy and the Past

I'm wearing a frown A dark, forlorn suit...I guess I am the abyss... You are mighty down I saw you zip through the crowd I am the spy... I'm roaming around, Picking up the small pieces That were once my past The abyss, the spy, and the past Clothe me with curiosity... Will this nightmare vanish or last?

I am always taking the chips and broken pieces and putting them back together. I like to think that each construction is an improvement and solves a problem from before. However, new challenges always come up. So, while I am well now, who knows how well I will do later on. I only can try. See--you get my thoughts going. And now for some exercise. See you later, sir.

Hey I hope it lasts only as long as you want it to. Once the pieces are gathered, will you put them together in a new way? I have to say that I like reading this. You have given me a little time for some art. This is precious for me. Many, many thanks, kind sir. I hope you are not offended by my strange sense of humor, but you are an artistic and sensitive man. Someone will be very lucky to have more of your company! Who will she be? That is a mystery.

This is mysterious and open to lots of interpretations. I especially loved the imagery of the spy amongst the crowd.

WOW! David, the abyss, this is awesome, and creepy, on how well you pin and painted and zipped that suit on. It's amazing, hope it's only a nightmare, no need to fall in the past.... Well done... Linda
