(I don't know where I was going with this, but I like where it went anyway...) ------------- In Our Own Time Dreaming like a bleeding pen a massacre of words on the page heart fit to burst wide open songs as medicine in such a contagious age we run to undone only to stop on a dime we are contradictory in our own time but we'll be just fine we'll be just fine Dreaming in diminished blue the music falls and rises again soul fit to burn wild and true songs as a voice of reason above the din we fight for what's right or what's wrong in our mind we are a disasterpiece in our own time but we'll be just fine we'll fall in line Scars on the evening sky a distant light across the water calls the loneliest sound in the world listen for it to fall where do we think we're going how many miles have we gone we see faces in the moon glowing unconcerned with the dawn disconnected with the shape of a human heart the blood rhythm and the rhyme all the world's a stage and we play our parts and we're all the starring role in our own time in our own time Dreaming like a bleeding pen a massacre of words on the page heart fit to burst wide open songs are contagious in such a medicine age we run to undone only to stop on a dime we are contradictory in our own time but we'll be just fine we're all completely out of our collective minds but we'll be just fine we'll be just fine in our own time "Beauty has a way of seeming unconcerned" - Neil Finn, 'Terrorize Me' |

Although you were unaware where this poem would lead you, it lead you to a cluttered poetical highway, but you can hold your head up when it was finished with you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Wherever you were going, your writing resonates with the dreamers and true believers, free spirits and lost souls ..simply because you write from and to the heart. You have such an uncanny way of expressimg pure emotion... Your poetry makes my heart sing soul drifter. |
