I need to wash my face
in these blue pages
I need to take in the
scent of paper and ink
I need to feel the love, pain
anger and happiness
I need to be someone else
for just a little while
I need to soar on Eagles
fantasy flight
and plunge to the depth of
Sea's watery sighs
I need to blaze with fire
in Serenity's smile
I need to walk in the wind
and convene with the Angels
and search through the shadows
for the diamonds in life
in the Suthern Sunshine
or under the Midnitesun
MindBodySoul I need to
immerse myself here today
and let my soul drift
drift softly away

I know that feeling so well!!! *S* But truth is... that someone I need to be that takes me away from who I am... may be the real me. *S*

It's good reading your work... this is great!!

P.S. Thank you for the mention... you've just made my day! *S*

I truely enjoyed this piece...  I want to share my freedom with you... I get to be anyone in front of a camera...  Here I am "Lady in Red"

I loose myself in the art of expression... whether it be through words and/or visually....

Thank you for making me part of this beautiful write...

I was feeling exactly that way, that's why I dropped in.  And found a jewel.

Paula! This is wonderful! For who among us has, at times, wanted to be someone else.
I am so happy that I am back on Passions and write to you again.
A happy smile
and a hug ...

Congratulations, Nurse Paula! *S* I know there are still steps you must take... but may you sail over them. *S*

Nurse Paula Finn, congratulations - not only on becoming a nurse, but also on how cleverly you combined the poets' names with a real poetically philosophical message to which we can all relate, but mostly on the beauty you created in your poem, not only because it is heart-and-soul-warming but also for its artistic quality!
