Waking up in the morning, Face the day that is now dawning. No longer do I have to fear, The silence that defied my tears. The sun is shining bright ahead, Gladly reaching my gloomy bed. Life itself I can evoke, Doubts are nothing I now provoke. Battles were things that I did fight, My own uniquness not out of sight. To conjure up a plan for hope, Gaining knowledge to learn to cope. A frantic dash to snare my dreams, Failure to see it as it seems. The stability I now do hold, Is is as precious as solid gold. Emotions now running through me, Enchant my soul delightfully. Leaving imprints of rosey images, Further me on my pilgrimages. Loading me with sentiment, Closer to true enlightenment. Experiencing what humans call giving, Delighted to be finally living. ~AF~ "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." Buddha |

from what I've seen you always do great work but this is exceptional. Even though my dark and blood stained views of the world can be depressing at times this still made me smile. (you should feel special very few things make me smile) anyways wonderful work and keep posting. >¶Øʆ< |

Well all I can say is wow! Cerenity, Branden, DD, A little girl, LoveBug, Niceguy, Matt, Greeneyes, Poet, Katherine, Kit and Sweet Stuff, thank you so much for your replies. To be honest I didn't exactly think I would get quite as many as I did. Your comments were very warming. It was written at 3:30am Aussie time and it was just after you have gotten the feeling where you can sit back, sigh and not have to think of the next way to fight things off. It was like a pure stream of tranquility was running through my veins. Total peace. PoA, I'm really happy that I brought a smile to your face. It is always a nice thing to know. Oh and thanks for the coke DD. *L* ~AF~< !signature--> "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

How did I ever miss this one? VERY good job on this, EJ! I loved the simple scheme, the layout, the wordings... it was a fine platter of poetry! And it was cheerful at the end. How unlike you! Well here's my LATE reply. Back to page one it goes. ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

Wow, this is an old one! VERY good job, though. This one shows your talent well. Good job. --Marie I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am. |

life isn't always what we want it to be. My dad always said "Life's a everyday challenge" now I believe it and see it. Your poem was awesome how you wrote it. ~*~Minna~*~ |
