I've heard the choir children singing They were dancing in the rain, carelessly No worries surrounded them, nothing was wrong Their voices rang throughout the night I watched them from afar, looking on in envy Their dreams had just begun, while mine were ending I prayed for them right then and there That their lives wouldn't end, they'd have something to live for Their heart would have a rhythm that would make them dance Dance like they were now, a dance of innocence One that would beat through the streets of the town I screamed, i cried that night, so that my prayer would be heard It echoed in the skies, the vibration thundered in my ears Now i rest, in the rain, in the streets, that held the children The choir children who were singing once, who were dancing once And now i rest, for my rhythm has died, but my prayer... I prayed for them that night, i screamed and i cried Their beat will live on, and my echoes will be heard "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE |

Every prayer uttered is heard! May your spirit lift with your prayers! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

Amazing Nights! You have incredible talent. This is probably the best I've read from you. Very impressive. "The bullets you bite from the pain you request, you're finding harder to digest" -Collective Soul |

nights: lyric was right, this is definately one of your best... i love this poem... very vivid and very moving... the poem pulls you right along throughout... very good job  sincerely, jerome the mysterious priest Disarm you with a smile And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial The bitterness of one who's left alone --[billy corgan]-- |
