I am a pile of dirt with a soul stuck inside Somewhere in the distance the sun begins the day The clouds rush together the sun will have to hide If the rain falls forever I’ll soon wash away I didn’t think I could be more than a pile of dirt Yet I was given a soul to feel joy and pain And free will to cause the most unwanted hurt Makes me linger longer in the freezing rain I am washing away, the sins from the clay The filth forms a river to where the sun may shine I do believe somewhere maybe even today Baptized in that river from filth a holy shrine All Day I Dream About Stanzas!! |

I don't think you are a pile of dirt....unless you WANT to be....I'll just add a little water and you can be MUD!  |

Walt, This is so good, I love it and you were born into one heck of a human being from that dirt. I bet a perfect rose could grow from your soil. |

Interesting concept on life, there kiddo. Well, dirt is full of minerals, I once ate some once, I sure hope that wasn't the essence of someone - that was forming to become a dirt man --) Clever poem - made me laugh Teresa King |

Walt that's what we were made from. All of us, but formed so intricately. Bud you are a wonderful person, God makes no mistakes! So don't wash it away, but let those buds bloom |

You've made me grin with your "uplifting" poem for sure Walt!!!  Just remember that everything comes from the dirt m'friend, so you're better off than most of us!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Pile of Dirt? I think not... Fertile loam... awaiting promise of a seed, drops of rain to fill wants needs...special--that's what you are... |
