I am not and I am me I wonder which one you see I hear the bell toll I see the mourner's cry for me I want bury the sadness that isn't me I am not and I am me I pretend a life that is not real I feel a warmness, a memory too long gone I touch a love that is no more I worry another I will never see I cry for him, I cry for me I am not and I am me I understand that life is hard I say it shouldn't have to be I dream of love and passion true I try to fight my way free I hope to find long sought relief I am not and I am me [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 05-01-2000).] |

hey girl..you did just fine on this!!! and I knew you would...you always write with so much emotion. seems many of us poets feel these same emotions...I notice a theme of duality in our posts to this. nice to see your thoughts expressed in this way. ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |

Corazon... it's good to have a glimpse into who you are... as i was reading this, for a minute, i thought, 'wait a minute.. that's ME she's talking about!". I love the lines, "I see the mourner's cry for me I want to bury the sadness that isn't me" I identified with those lines and so many more in here... it was an interesting challenge, wasn't it? I love a challenge that can be introspective and at the same time retrospective... and circumspective and all those other big 'perspective' words...  ... which was what this one was...Enjoyed this very much... thank you for sharing it. |

Corazon, though sad and frought with longing, this is a beautiful response to the challenge. I can identify with much of what you shared, and I'm thankful that not only did you answer the challenge, but that I had the chance to meet you. Alicat |
