She was tossed overboard Into the sea Falling deeper and deeper Into the ocean of her emotions In her dilemma She gasped for air Looking for the sunlight From the ocean's floor The sun's rays Seemed eons away Instinctively She gravitated toward them Developed gills Lived on the scarce oxygen That was available In such deep cold waters At times she grew weary Of her underwater existence And her screams could be heard By those who traveled above "Help I am drowning!" "Please rescue me!" Yes I see that you are Came an answer Swim towards the light "Throw me a line!" "Pull me into your boat!" Reach for it It's already there beside you "I can't see it" "The darkness blinds me" Swim towards the light Someone has left the safety Of their boat To save you When you feel his presence Trust him Take his hand He will guide you Let him lead the way [This message has been edited by Songbird (edited 03-04-2001).] |

Lovely! I think the message is very uplifting... just one thing to point out: is scare supposed to be scarce?  K |

I really liked this one. Reminded me of an old Cure song, The drowning man. Liked the dialogue inbetween. ~Broken~ Oh God! Why the angels fall first? |

In this I see the message of hope, and I trust she did see the hand of love offered to her, and took it... Beauty in the darkness.. thanks hon  Isis *War produces one thing - Cemetaries. And in cemetaries there are no enemies!* ~Isis~~Sovereign of the Spirit. |
