I AM I am sleeping, I am dreaming I wonder if I'll ever wake I see a light at the end of the tunnel Oh God, how I want to awake I am sleeping, I am dreaming I pretend to be alive as I walk through this world I feel all eyes burning upon my skin I touch my thoughts with only but a scream I worry that someone may oneday see through this facade I cry for the lost souls who don't know who they are I am sleeping, I am dreaming I have come to understand I shall always slumber But I say life is hard, never gives, only takes I do still dream though of finding the real me I try to see things the way they are God, I hope this is over soon I am sleeping, I am dreaming |

Thank you for this lovely look inside your soul....I see much beauty there along side the pain. Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

I felt sadness as I read this, it was great to know you better, but I can only wish you could find peace within yourself and this world. Great writing anyway. |

very deep and honest Jeffery... and yes, M, inspires us daily... and makes us reach deep... which is a good thing me thinks  I was wondering as I read this... are you writing this thru his eyes... or yours...perhaps both.. excellent writing Jeff. ~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~ |

~Jeff This was exquisite! I am honored to learn more about you. You truly have a wonderful heart and soul...both while you are awake and while you are dreaming. and i agree w/ jan...michael inspires us everyday to go to the depths of our souls and to produce work that is beautiful, honest, and intense. and this my friend you have most definitely achieved. a first class piece for sure! take care, Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Thanks guys, This piece just wrote itself so I suppose there is a part of me hidden in there somewhere. You will never know how it warms my heart to hear such sweet words of compliment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And yes Micheal truly does bring out the best in all of us. For that I am most grateful. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
