Starlight gaze, Moonlights glare Is what we see really there? Or mirrored by our fantasy Illusions put there hopelessly Fortunes sought, fortunes made Will all be lost when comes the grave Striving for that endless goal In the end will it save our immortal soul Beauty born fades with time But illusions thereof stay in the mind Inner beauty is what's best When character is put to the test Wishful thoughts achieve but one thing As idle hands become the Devil's playthings Are you prepared to let this be Or fight with your all to be set free Take your life down off the shelf Reach the full potential within yourself Maybe then you'll understand The truth of being Human Thomas |

I've never read this before..when did you write it? I'm you biggest fan; not only of your singing, but of this too. I'm just really thankful that now I have an oppurtunity to read from you more often. This may be my favorite works of yours so far.

That was a great poem. So true. People tell me all the time that inner beauty is what really counts... well, keep up the writing, you're really good! Bel |

i voted for this. its true inter beauty is what counts but there are alot of people who go out with other for what they look like and how much money they have. but i'm happy i read the lines inside a person. great read keep it up. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |

I liked this a lot. You have some talent dude, too bad i didn't reply sooner. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
