a tether tied in indecision avoiding life its imprecision Hallucination called a vision? or is it just the other way... no fight, no flight, no demonstrations enough to find some short salvation I tire of these explanations I pray for strength of faith to pray... A wish for words of absolution the gift to write sweet resolution A yearning yield to soul's solution My spirit beckoning, "come play..." too weary, to fight, my malaise... too tired to brush tears away. |

A wish for words of absolution the gift to write sweet resolution A yearning yield to soul's solution My spirit beckoning, "come play..." too weary, to fight, my malaise... too tired to brush tears away. ==================== sen this is so sweetly you... and this is so much a mirror ..as always you have defined these emotions to the letter.... and I know baby...I know... we are all moths waiting for our turn to fly like butterflies .... reminded me a bit of a fav song.......one line in particular...*** Falling Down Vetical Horizon Where does the time go Spinning my wheels Standing still It's like running on ice I only gain a little distance when I fall How did I become a molecule In the concrete of this city Indifferent to my endless motion In a space too small to see Nonetheless expected to be I only get a little attention when I fall Chorus: And I'm falling Falling down Falling Falling down Cursed with reason In a world so defiant Without conclusion This is the story The story we live out And it is the moral too Look at me I'm falling for you Shaking, crying Hating lying to myself ***I'm tired of telling myself it's OK To be this tired*** This sick and tired of the turns the world takes And the people that it makes us be And lately it appears to me that Chorus I'm falling down... go out and play in the sunshine...or a moonbeam..which ever one suits your mood (or sleep pattern) *kisskiss* love you my twin...muchly me |

I had to look up malaise in the dictionary. *grins* I especially like one lil ol line in particular, "I pray for strength of faith to pray..." That is so true. I was watching Dogma the other night, and some of the things they made fun of in that movie were so true. When I get around to forcing myself to go to church I see people who are there out of habit instead of to find spiritual guidance. That is what I will pray for when I go to church now. Instead of world peace (which truthfully would be boring), I'll pray for the strength of faith to pray. Luvdit, luvdit lots! -me |

serenity, not even chicken soup will help, this I know... but I can offer Kleenex...and a shoulder...and a hug... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
