Light the loss
let it burn

Like skin held
pinching for reality

I have seen
intelligence
smoke signal
for raw emotion

Ash fallen
over white trimmed
trust

Dust off
traces memorised

I am human remains

Write your words
blow me out.

"I DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY TOLD YOU
HOW TO UNFOLD YOUR LOVE,
I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEONE CONTROLLED YOU,
THEY BOUGHT AND SOLD YOU.

I LOOK AT THE WORLD AND I NOTICE IT'S TURNING,
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS.
WITH EV'RY MISTAKE WE MUST SURELY BE LEARNING;
STILL MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS." George Harrisson.

Thanks for the replies, this song did indeed give me my title, and like he says, with every mistake, we must surely be learning.

i hope so.  

much love to you all

Ralph: Miss Hoover. I don't have a red crayon.
Miss Hoover: Why not?
Ralph: I ate it.

That's a good song...and yes- you guys are nuts too.

best quote ever:

"my mama used to tell me,
life is like a box of chocolates:
you never know which one you're gonna get"
-forrest gump

that and "we all live in a yellow submarine" every day I ask myself "why?" "why is it yellow and not blue?" Just some of my thoughts
