-- Call me crazy from your cage -- (3-??-2000) You can tear down my temple, but my soul's already been released. I never asked you to join me, so don't tread on my beliefs. You can spit in my face and call me what you like. I don't fear you, only the cages in your life. You confine yourself to the few pleasures that you've known, Only because you fear the memory of a pain that is gone. Hide from it as you may, but for all of us - death is always only a life away. --Dave< !signature--> "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment.

I just now realized I had this one. It was inspired by my first skydive. Just a little reminder that you can only die once, but you can live every day.  So many people spend so much time trying to protect themselves from the unknown because of the bad they might find there that they forget that there is a chance they might find good there too. Sometimes you just have to put away your fears and live a little ya know? "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true colors." --Rachel Joy Scott |

LOL Dave, first skydive. I did one when I was sixteen and that was enough for me. haha Great poem, keep them coming. I have been writing new ones for the causes in here April 22 - is earth day. This month is child abuse month. But, I, too, have many poems stashed away for a sunny day. Thanks for sharing netswan |

YEP, I am... cool poem dave-gator, later jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Netswan - Man I loved it.. plan on doing it again as soonas possible. Yeah, I'm hopinhg to get inspired for the earthday challenge... as for the child abuse... well.. the poem I wrote called "Helpless Empathy" right after I posted this one is about as close as I think I'm going to come. Just brings back too many memories for me. Jan - LOL You remind me of a skydiving term I read when I was looking in to skydiving: Whuffo - Person observing skydiving activities from the ground sometimes with a dazed look on their face asking "Whuffo they do that?" Thanks for the compliment too.. I'm not sure about my wisdom... it comes and goes I think. =) "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment.
