This poets pen has wandered Through love and lust and pain Through friendships and through anger Then back to love again This poets pen has touched upon The glories of a butterfly All the wisdoms of a child And of clouds wallpapering the sky This poets pen has given birth To fantasies and strife To laughing rhymes that make no sense To the ugliness of life This poets pen has spun some dreams Has asked you questions Maybe changed some ways Has offered shelter through your pain And has brought you laughter on dark days And when the day finally comes to be When these words simply cease to exsist You'll know thats the day God called to me And theres no need of this poets pen [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 10-26-2000).] |

2000 For you ![]() A long time ago When a soft wind did blow The grass in meadows so plentiful Was a lonely Unicorn so beautiful She searched for love to hold Because the moons were getting old While the rains began to pour She was too tired to search anymore Then the clouds began to dissipate And through the sky came her mate As the sun warmed her heart and said hush Quietly she trotted with her love Pegasus |
