This was written after a time in life when I felt hopeless, but a healing took place...and I am thankful to be where I am today. ------------------------------------------------ Dreams falling in the middle of the day Thoughts of quick sand sinking A shattered feeling of lost content Hopeful tomorrows weeping. Cleanse your soul of poison now Reach for forgotten goals Yesterday left the scars unhealed Today is all I hold. Chalk board heaven right at hand. Traces of my image gone. Mirrors cast a spell on me When did things go wrong? Shadows dance in the dark I’m told Winter’s breath is cold Summer brought peace for me This road I’ll pave with Gold. Smiling back at yesterday My soul starts to sing Strength gathered in my hand This prisoner … I have released. In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

nice write. healing is wonderful! I don't know about shadows dancing in the dark, I guess there would be no way to find out for sure. It's nice to wonder though. |

Enchantress I feel I can be open here...especially among other poets. It does my body good to share this with others especially to understanding people. Thank you so much for responding. ----------------------------------- regards2u Today is all we hold...and I hold it much closer now. I just thank God I made it through that dark tunnel ..back into the light. Thank you so much for reading me. ----------------------------- passing shadows I do wonder if shadows dance in the dark? I think I questioned a lot of things. Still don't know all the answers, but sure like believing in a little magic. *S* Thank you so much for stopping in to read. In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. --Deepak Chop [This message has been edited by Salty (12-16-2002 03:33 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know this feeling ever so well for I too used to be depressed all the time because I was abused and felt no one loved me and almost killed myself, but then I felt Him push me back and now I have turned to Him too and healed and believe that is how I have become who I am! (kiss on cheek) You are a true angelic friend, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Salty, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

 it's that kind of "feeling" poem, the type that makes you want to reach out and comfort... that's good, it means you got across the emotion. brava. Chris |
