A slow illumination From a corner of my room Thoughts and contemplation On the origins end soon Slowly, as if unfolded A figure appears quite swift Her message of the undead Crosses the awesome, darkened rift "Fear not," says she abruptly "You should not take on such fear Listen to my words closely 'Tis a message you need to hear" "Your purpose, my dear, is plain One which, you too, shall see To all those around explain The words which flow from me" "The focus of this message Is the tragic disarray Of souls trapped here in passage Punished for crimes, they pay" "Their lives were void of meaning For themselves, only, they cared Thought they, not once, of giving Never their trophies shared" "Good girl, please listen closely Spend your time ever so wise Spread out this message, kindly, Let them see through your eyes" Without even a warning The figure faded fast And quickly came the morning My thoughts upon the past I proceed now with wisdom On what life's purpose can be She's set me apart from my kingdom And I promise to help them see I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

I love this poem! I think you have a very wise guardian Angel, sent from God to give you Hope! and wisdom! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

I like this one 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. |

oooohhh I like this one what an experience! enjoyed it very much Maree I may know the word but not say it I may know the truth but not face it I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head indifferent.
