On days like this there is the seeming of sunshine just beyond the dark skyline that will once again elude me. Just hear me now on Sunday morning beckoning the wind to the call of my inspiration and utilzing the froth of joy to sweeten my coffee. Oh how rare is this that I get to join morning's first breath and not feel like the world is coming down so fast on my chest that I cannot breathe nor scream, nor chant, nor raise my spirits with a smile. Oh tell me just how fleeting it is to share a first moment with a sun I walked away from long ago! I walked away to join the dark where I would find solace and peace no hurry scurry of feet pattering in consumption of rushed time no false self protective smile to hide pain. On days like this there is the seeming of sunshine and for but a moment I can't remember the dissappointment of my voice failing to be heard clearly without the filter of judgement. Yes fleeting. I was right and the close is always this resigned powerless stare. How I wish I could grab you, friend and shake your humanity to the surface and you wouldn't judge me and I wouldn't end a brilliant light filled poem in desperation for your hand. Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since [This message has been edited by Temptress (edited 12-02-2001).] |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Jennifer, this is so so sad to feel smiles turning to frowns! (sigh) We all have these days but as long as you believe in yourself and listen to your loving heart, you will find yourself smiling again for long periods of time! Now show me a happy smile, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) We all love you, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (edited 12-02-2001).] |

A poem with the wind of honesty is refreshing in itself. I say "open the window" and let the ink flow.... Kathleen (Kay) |

*sigh* such power and pain in these words. A reaching out with hope to receive a word that is not judgement. My heart goes out to you. I hope you hear the words that will let even more sunlight into your life and that their moments will be longer. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Hello everyone. THanks for your comments so far. Just a note here..I changed the part of the poem about my voice coming through clearly because it didn't make sense the way I wrote it before. I'm sure you'll catch it if you read it again.  If not, well..lol..thats okay to, because it means no one saw me trip! LOL! Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |

expressive and pwerful. I like the way you get your feelings across. It takes more muscles to make a frown, so try to smile instead. Luv ya RP |

You write with resplendent emotion. No matter how lovely our spirit the cravings are still there aren't they. Fantastic Temptress! Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |
