To Be is to Become I do feel, and i do see that to be here-that to be, to be is always yet to become, I feel: there for i am An angel hovers by my soul, plays her harp- plays it well, and her music is my liveliehood making feelings, making mood She whispers of how my gaud gleams that sleep forever will find dreams under that star, and all the light of heaven's love shining bright And so do i have an art gallery of lives i've lived already. Of attempts toward a masterpeice and never does her music cease But it changes, yes, she changes me by a new sweet-fingered melody "...no single sound too rude Upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." --Edgar Allan Poe (from Serenade) |

Oh, isn't it so!! we can take the gloomest attitude into a read and find ourselves laughing or being touched by someone from a single poem. Loved this one much. Marcy |

Poet deVine - Sorry its sort of a weird poem. I sort of meant philosphy is in feelings because feelings rule thoughts don't they? And i sort of was saying that i don't beleive things really die at all but just change. Hope its less a conundrum now. Alle'cram -Thankyou. Glad you liked the read Marcy. |

Do we think before we feel? Or do we feel before we think? Or. . . do we think and feel at the same time? These and other questions are raised here. . . excellent writing. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven - glad you liked the poem. I was just saying that i think that change is forever and were always within that becoming in what we feel. Thoughts just follow running after feelings but never catch up to what we really are before were becoming something else. |

I believe, and this is simply my opinion, that we are all masterpieces and I loved that line in this one! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
