TRUTH CHOSE ME I closed my eyes, saw life before me, In shades of shimmering silver and glimmering gold. The pure truth of existence, naked and tender. She filled the world. She danced and sang unhampered by Deceit. The dust of Dishonesty had not settled there. Was it a dream? A dream floating and fluttering before me On butterfly wings so frail. Reality knocked her down. Cold, cruel Reality, crushing and corrupting. No more dances with Angels. My eyes are open. My eyes are open. Truth creeps into my soul, holding hands with Life. The glittering silver and gold sparkle no more. Dulled by the dust of Dishonesty. Truth is a dream, I saw her but my eyes were closed. My eyes are open now, wide open, I see: The World is surely not a place for Truth, for she Is oppressed by the Greed and Deceit that is Reality. Yet I feel her vibrancy As she continues to dance - within me. She knows she need not cower though my eyes stay open. For the Reality I see shall never be me. My tender frame might be trampled underfoot, But my spirit, my soul, is indestructible. For it houses Truth. I did not choose to be vulnerable, to trust, to see Darkness but perceiving lights as bright as stars. Truth chose me. My being. There she abides and guides. Indeed, she chose everyone. The world is no place for her at present. She cannot dance with Angels there. Therefore let her dance within your soul. That one day, a million stars, a million bright lights, A million truths might become one. One eternal Truth. I closed my eyes and saw that Truth is Reality. I opened my eyes and saw that Reality is Deceit. I choose Truth. [This message has been edited by ESP (11-08-2002 01:22 PM).] |

I chewed every word of this and savoured it.I believe that it is an educated guess as to the reality of this for you,that what you write about...well,I can only say is that I lived this.It transported me to day almost 3 years ago when I awoke from a dream about a gold coin in the sky to find my arm raised and my hand reaching,stretching for it.This was at the beginning of a break-up with someone I had come to know as so truthful and full of conviction to find that it was not so.Never-the-less,despite the deceitfulness my Love still holds on,and that is my Reality. You write so well,from your Heart.I was particularly struck by the line,"Truth chose me",and the rest of your statements in that verse in reference to that.I feel that that would be a striking title for this,for it really says so much and is uniquely enlightening. If this was or is truly your reality,I only hope that you find healing.If this is anything as to what I have been and am going through,I know that it is a hard climb to a better "Reality".Hope that one day soon we both get to keep the glimmering gold coin.

Dear Geoff, That was such a sweet reply you made to my poem. Thank you very much. I have just had my trust thrown back in my face, but I guess all to do is to keep moving forward, and live life in the way you know is right. And, yeah, the title you suggest sounds pretty good to me! lol.Thanks again for the reply. Luv, Liz. |

OH MY GOSH ! Can it REALLY be my sweet LizzieGal ? Honey, it is soooooooooooo good to see you~ (I had an e-mail from you in my mailbox ... but something happened and I'm backtracking trying to find it) 'Truth chose me. My being. There she abides and guides.' Beautiful thought ... from an equally beautiful young lady~ It is just soooooooooooo wonderful to see you sweetie~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Hey Marge. Thanks for replying... I am sorry that I cut you out of my life the way I did. I was young and insecure. Still am I guess! I am finding my way though, slowly but surely. I wondered if you would reply, after everything, it was a pleasant surprise to see that you did. This is the first poem Ive written in a while, but I hope to keep on writing cos I do enjoy it so when I do it. C ya around. Luv, Liz xx |

Dear Esp this is a wonderful poem. I don't think we've met but I have been in this corner for awhile and was gone for a few days and came back to find many new (to me) writers have posted. Wonderful. Joyce |
