HELLO A hello might do well To quell some of this pain. Silence hangs like dead weight, This life's true ball and chain. Tomorrow, a vision, Must first sacrifice trust... To sift from the ashes The dreams given to dust. From the cup of sorrow, Filled by cold hands of ghost, Come new wounds I harrow By self-infliction's toast. While church bells are ringing In the distance near-by, No angels are singing To remind me of why. There's no restitution Where sin remains unknown. Nor is absolution Found in dying alone. No one, though, hears my cry, Letting my last breath go. So why offer good-bye, I never heard hello? ------------------ Michael Anderson Loneliness isn't in being alone, Loneliness is alone in being.

Oh Michael...I hear you crying, but soon you will be flying - with me! We do need to work on that positive attitude of yours......(sigh)  Oh how I wish you would rejoice with me....don't feel pain, feel happiness and new love! And remember that I love you, no matter how low you feel - I am there lifting you up. ------------------ ~~ Lift your head high - spread your "words" and fly - - poetFemmeFatale |

Sad, Michael. But portraited oh so well. Another great verse for us you have shown to help break the curse of feeling alone to me this rings real you hit close to home just so you feel not quite so alone. Great work Michael ------------------ Life is what you make of it... Not what you let it be |

Sadness is an old friend is it not, a comfortable ally against the new and unknown? Echoes of myself do I see in this ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Michael, I know what you mean about the comfort in sadness. Ever hear the song "I'm Only Happy When It Rains"? One of the lines is "you want to hear about my new obssession, I'm riding high upon a deep depression". I get myself in these at times and as crazy as it sounds, I like it! Loved your poem. |

Lonliness isn't being alone Lonliness is alone in being. . . Too true my friend. . . we can be alone even when we are surrounded by those we love. . . But it appears that you have someone who wants to show you the way home. . . take her hand my friend. . . and let her show you again. . .

Oh Lostboy - I know the song you speak of - Garbage kept me sane through some of the worst times in my life....isn't that crazy? I spent many nights drinking trying to drown in my sorrow....with them playing loudly in the background! Thanks for reminding me of that time in my life. It makes me more thankful for today ! Sorry Michael, I know how you hate it when all your stuff it bumped back at the same time, but oh well....you'll get over it !  ------------------ - - - If I can just touch you once, then I feel I have accomplished what I am called to do....- - pFF |
