Writing on old battles and then you find they haven't changed. Dave Is it your belief That the world fails to find you Raise you As decreed Silence it always matters For everyone we need Standing at the shadows Friends you dont talk to They have all gone and shattered As you are coming through Did I decorate your throne Or did I exist Did I feature on your hits Or allowed to delist I am still in there with passion I am still in there in need Even though I'm shattered Fighting from beneath my knees But It's something I'll remember From my knees down to my bone I always wanted honesty Now where am I to go Now where am I to go |

Dave, I feel the longing in this...the need to reach out and grab what is right there... and yet too far away to do so. You write heartache well...In fact you just write well period! Take care. Amy "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

Now you've reminded me of a Dogen saying: If you can't find truth where you are, where do you expect to find it? Just substitute honesty for truth in that line. We stumble over it daily, sometimes not recognizing it. Who cares? Well, I do...for one. |

It's something I'll remember From my knees down to my bone I always wanted honesty Now where am I to go Now where am I to go it goes without saying, this was terrifically bittersweet the ending was, indeed longing... and all anyone ever wants... I can never understand why and what people can be thinking when they do what they do...the hurt is overbearing, and certainly not what another deserves... |

Aimster Dave, I feel the longing in this...the need to reach out and grab what is right there... and yet too far away to do so. You write heartache well...In fact you just write well period! Take care. Amy "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" Amy If I wrote well, I would be rich Maybe it is a gradient scale Thanks for your words, they are appreciated Dave JamesMichael Enjoyed...James Thanks James Dave Midnitesun Now you've reminded me of a Dogen saying: If you can't find truth where you are, where do you expect to find it? Just substitute honesty for truth in that line. We stumble over it daily, sometimes not recognizing it. Who cares? Well, I do...for one. Honesty, sweet honesty Carried to my grave as an early age Oaths and Prayers from those Who were truthful No other comment Dave LeeJ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's something I'll remember From my knees down to my bone I always wanted honesty Now where am I to go Now where am I to go it goes without saying, this was terrifically bittersweet the ending was, indeed longing... and all anyone ever wants... I can never understand why and what people can be thinking when they do what they do...the hurt is overbearing, and certainly not what another deserves... Going back to a previous comment and it sounds really nasty Does honesty start at the point of marriage, or joining, or does it start at the moment of a parent's training Dave |
