~ACHE~ There is no thing more sad in life than having everything and still feeling empty with nothing, for, even with everything, yearning is a pain too deep, to always want what you cannot have, to long for a love, unattainable, knowing that to desire or need is to ache *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

Very nice Melissa, I know the feeling well. A kindred spirit. Life be not God's greatest gift. Of what worth be life without the capability to love? |

So sad that all our dreams can never come true. But where would we be without them? Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

Melissa...everyone's definition of "everything" differs...as you have illustrated here...comparing material desires with what the soul needs...I have been needy in both positions...and if I had the option I'd rather be loved and needy, than secure and alone.< !signature--> Love one another-let God do the worrying, Rodney [This message has been edited by Rodney Belcher (edited 07-03-2000).] |

Thank you everyone for the kinds words and encouragement. Basically, I wrote my poem to mean two things, first, even with all the material possesions in the world at your fingertips, they mean nothing without love, second, even with all your fortune, it means nothing if you are empty inside, material possesions cannot hide the expression of a sad heart. This poem can be taken many different ways so don't let me tell you what it is supposed to mean, it's only what it means to me Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

God I know this feeling so well, for my White Dove. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
