I wonder what its like she said
what you mean the other girl asked
to see the light and then not see the light
girl stares at the other in disbelief
come with me she said she reaches out grabs
ahold of her hand then unfolding a napkin
with all the right things all the right words
scribbled on the paper
you see this map she ask
yes whats it trying to say
looking in her eyes throwing her head back
and laughing loudly
its our lives outlined in so few words
i dont get it says the other
nor do i the girl answers , but im not gonna
sit around and let life pass me by
it already has for me answered the other
she lays her head over and dies


I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

Well done...I feel that the map of our lives continues to grow as we explore all the adventures set before us...sometimes we cannot see the many words that tell of who we are but when we consider the people we have touched we can see there is more that we realise from looking in the mirror....**big hugs**

Good.

Don't allow this to be obscured
by the manner in which it is written . . .
It deserves respect.
