I'm remaking myself in the image of love my shattered appearance yearns to leave this cold and lonely shelf just rise up above and find passion returns. I'm remaking myself taking the scars and the problems that cause me much pain find heart in wisdom and wealth reforming as stars as I take on new me with no name I'm remaking myself To start as brand new New person new identity I'm forming becoming somebody else A phoenix arising as sparks up a flue I'm remaking myself into me Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Kethry, in that case love can I rename you Phoenix, you would look great dressed in flames of desire, eyes of hope. heart of gold and spirit of truth. Oh this is so wonderful it really and truly is. I get goosebumps when you write as well as this, I really do. Brilliant piece Have a great weekend and be good, but not too good.....

Marsha, iloveitwhenyouwritelikethis. And it's not that I'm vain (at least I don't think I am) it's just that it lifts my spirits high. And the idea about the pheonix came from you anyway. Maxtec1, that true all things change and sometimes we learn from the changes. ethome, huggle bunny, I get encouraged by all the other good writers here, including you, so it must be a circle that has no end. Be well, you're swell Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Kethry love, no love you are not vain, not at all. (Far to modest actually, I have faith in you and your ability. Did I not call you the smile giver?) Wonderful piece, and you would look fabulous as a Phoenix, you really would. Really excellant writing from you. Didn't I tell you that I love your poems and I surely certainly do.

Yes, you rise, girl up from those ashes, come on now, let's go, dust off and write your heart out from down under.... you are never under!!!!!!!!!< !signature--> "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you."

I can well relate to this, you know it can be hard just being yourself and being happy being yourself. I hope the make over goes well, I know the new image will suit you perfectly, just make sure that the poetry remains.

I like the premise of this... excellent metaphors and analogies and I like the wisdom and wit of the last two lines... the "me" in you is good thing later-makeover-gator me Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |
