Gifts From The Fountain These gifts from the fountain are all that I need when the road gets so lonely and the future seems bleak. Somehow I still turn the path I can find through the mist and the suffering comes the peace I define. Through the world's great distractions back stabbers and liars I've pressed on through all things and I battled the fires. Somehow I still learn and truth I can find and the cloud covered mountains become easy to climb. Now the road to perfection is roughed up and long and some of the rights things are suddenly gone. But if there's words of true wisdom from hearts that are blessed between the earth and the heavens this poetry board rests. |

Wish I could have been the first to answer. You have spoken so much truth here. There is so much joy in having a place where the truth is spoken, where hearts are open, where others respond to your feelings. You do get so weary in the business world of deceit and falseness and it is so refreshing to have this poets place to interact. This is a wonderful poem. I enjoyed it emmensely Liz And congratulations on your 500 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 07-22-2000).] |

Ethome, congrads on the 500th post and the wonderful tribute to Passions. Lovely poem why must we pray screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith |
