' what if tears were like India Ink? ' I asked my mother when I old enough to think " What if." was all that she could say ' everytime you cried,' I said ' you'd leave a trail there to stay ' ' everyone would know ' I said ' how often you had cried, whenever someone hurt you abused you, or hwen your friends had said goodbye' my mother nodded lost for words and so I did go on 'and then we might think twice ' I said ' before someone else we'd wrong' ' but I'm sure there's some who'd fae their grief their tears grown cold from years of clinging to dark sorrows to claim prestige for their Tears ' and then I thought of Africa where skin is dark to sight would they cry with different tears? to mark the trails white? I gave up in my pondering and left things as they are for God, is wise and makes the eyes of ALL both far and near flow clear, when sadness hope and joy through tears that fall see no differance in Man Woman Girl and Boy ~Which way did They go? How many of Them were there? I MUST find Them!! I AM THEIR LEADER!!~ Author Unknown..well at least to me..:) |

interesting thoughts  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

I love the depth of this. A little deeper, a little further, wonderful. "One out of four people in this country is mentally imbalanced. Think of your three closest friends - and if they seem okay, then you're the one." |

Another great one here Son!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

As I read this, I couldn't help but think of those that cry inside...so that others won't know of their pain. Your answer that God in his wisdom notices the tears of sadness or joy....was great. Such a nice poem...Twilah |

I love the way you see things Sol...makes a person (like me) stop and say, "Whoa...he's put into words things I've felt before..."  What can I say but marvelous work! Looking forward to more hits from the 'Sol' train! ~~Jamie  I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett [This message has been edited by Wikket (edited 03-07-2001).] |

You have a way of capturing thought waves with your style of writing and what you put into it from your perspective. I am really enjoying your poetry as it exercises my mind. |
