For two days now Brisbane has had nothing but storms, Kind of suits my mood, Stormy outside, As well as in, and I wonder why I brood? The storms echo my own inner turmoil, As I type this, the lightning strikes and the thunder rolls, Wish I was the weather and could let go in such a way, But in all honesty I'd be afraid to pay the toll. The thunder echoes my anger, An anger that is a sin to feel, When I indulge and recognise my pains, My whole world it starts to reel. I'm angry at the evil that brings the world to the brink of war, Personal and social destructions, I'm angry at life's let downs, And all emotional seductions. I'm angry at laziness, Those who point fingers and condemn, Those with no spirituality, Those deeming themselves above family and friends. I'm angry at boredom and lonliness, Useless emotions we shouldn't even feel, Let alone distinguish, Anger becomes sort of surreal. Thunder crashes again, Anger at disease and illness, Perhaps with the passing of this storm, I can let go of the angriness? The sky darkens even further, My pleas to let go of this anger denied, I have sacrificed so much and so many, And all that is left is defeat and lack of pride... Whether one believes in religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion |

ah, true, but then the storm brings good with it - rain is good for the land, and the waves a storm brings make for great surfing, or so i hear  sometimes you just have to listen closer when god tells you something. and sometimes you have to let other people hope for you until you've rested and are ready for more -Dave |

Seems to be a lot around, behind, under, and between the lines here, dear Isis...Anger is one of God's gifts I think, because it lets us burn down the fuse without blowing, a controlled explosion I guess - even letting little explosions happen rather than one big bang. And nothing, and no one seems to help until the fuse burns out - all one can do is hang in there and pay the price (karma if your belief goes there) for what ever "sins" you've supposedly committed. Anyway, won't get into a long-winded talk on the forum - easy, my friend..thinking of you, jimmy [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 11-19-2001).] |

I need to read again, so I will. I love the way you put feelings into words I need less of me and more of you, so I will edit once I read again |

i usually don't want to steal a woman's thunder Right now I must anger is something very powerful my friend it can heal and hurt regardless what it has done for me or you or anysoul reading this, just try talking oft poets don't state the fact of how it feels and sounds when another reads their work so how do you deal with something that might be read daily, yearly, or maybe just once with the propencity to hate, you have one pre-requisite LOVE ISIS you are my armor, heart, and chance SVEN, you amazingly still put up with me EVERY person reading this hopefully learned |

And yet Brisbane's eloquence shines through even amidst the emotions of such a powerful storm. The genuine showing of one's own compassion through frustration at being so frustrated... I'm there... |

Wow! Thankyou my friends! This was SUCH an angry release, I was not sure how it would go over. I might add it worked feeling much better today.. just have to debug the system once in a while. But I hate feeling angry and I hate hating anything, so it's pretty hard travelling. Sven, I've purged and moved on, something we all do.... CarolinaDreams, so glad to see you back here and feeling so much better!!! I've missed you and your comforting outlook on things.. JWesley, nice to know you are thinking of me  Thanks one and all..... Isis |

Lets see...anger...now that's the thing I feel when things don't go my way... been feeling some of this myself lately... Am working through it by trying to be more understanding of this is the way life is ...sometimes we just have to accept the process...some things are in our control and some are not...James |
