Heading out into the world compass in my hand, boots on my feet, pack on my back, thumb up in the air, acres and acres of changing land. It's me who's been changing the land really stays the same. I've been a jagged cliff overhanging a mist filled ragging gorge. Now a field of golden wheat swaying in a warm summer breeze ever since the day I was reborn. But lately I've been downloading to an upgrade, scandisk then defrag., deleting every cookie so not to clog up my hard-drive. Surfing into the sunset, but not on a board and feel I'm being pulled away by technology from the LORD. Since I've found your forum you've brought me back to focus, the WORD will always be more powerful than the machine that sits before us.

Absolutely superb, and truth in every word. As for the title, even the simpler, "Refocus" would work. |

I liked your poem, but I can tell you, this forum is a vice, an addictive drug, and once you start you can't stop. I wish you luck, but please tred with care. And please send us more of your wonderful poems! Liz |

Addicted, addicted that is quite true addicted to words or poems that are free. Much cheaper by far that all the other vices We can just sit here and put all the words in our pipe and smoke them, Or drink them all up with our eyes Calorie free We could sit here for hours and Get extremly high on praises we find And wake up next day, to a new life online. Minus the headache, I might add! |

Great poem! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |
