Wrapped and bound in the chains < !signature-->of prison the fire burns deeply, roars with life inside of me setting me free Moisture, tiny particles of life letting me cry, letting me feel life I have a way to keep me free I refuse to stand and watch life go out it's not my role I will play one step at a time will keep me free I have a way to reach the sky take the moon for my mind stars for my eyes rainbow for my life and that will keep me free One step at a time... Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 01-09-2000).] |

Tiny particles of moisture? *G* I have it on good authority that your buckets of tears have been solely responsible for the increase in England's water table! LOL (And before you find it necessary to retaliate, yes, I do remember that 'I' live in a swamp! LOL) It's so good to have you back, dear friend... and your poem is lovely... as are you!!! |

I can not only agree with all of the above I would like to send you the sign of peace and love But I still have not yet figured out How to post a Dove here out So take my word to easy your pain A friend perhaps you have just gain' I like the way your poems come out "One step at the time" I shout Thanks for such intensive piece The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Queen, If it pleases your Ladyship, may I add that you do not merely step, you process forward with the regal strides of a true princess. naturally, when Toe bends down to lay his cape across the puddles (of tears??), you will impart all due leverage to his broad behind for all of us, will you not, M'Lady?? As for you wanting to quit - there is not a chance of that because you are a Grand Dame in the finest of traditions. |
