Don’t mind the smoke A fire’s burning Hold onto me The world is turning If you believe that tomorrow will be the same Then tonight will be our chance to make it change Don’t mind the wind A storm is brewing Getting lost within it That's what we’re doing If you’re looking away from the horizon Then there’s nothing left to keep your eyes on Don’t mind the waves The sea is raging Drown me again I don’t need saving If you're trying to close your mind just not to see Then the smoke that I cause is just a screen Don’t mind the smoke A fire’s burning [This message has been edited by Ron K.

If you believe that tomorrow will be the same Then tonight will be our chance to make it change I needed that line to be placed in my thoughts... an interesting format Ron. *s ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Thanks Wynter...its all a matter of moving on...getting beyond the smoke screen so to speak...we put up our defenses...but behind them its a wild side waiting to be exposed Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Ron, How true, how true... the truly fortunate ones get behind that smoke screen and discover the gift waiting for them. Just finding the trust to look past the smoke is the hard part.. Great poem!  Sheila |

I liked the whole formatting and style of this poem. VEry well done and thought up. The message.......well the message was just a great. Great job Ron!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
