Bare with me on this one, it's the first new poem I have been able to write in about 9 months or so. So she ain't much, but here it goes... Exit Wound Silk, satin pillow snow white Hands that cross indicate end of fight Laying hat within new home Leaving behind seeds they've sown In sorrow we gather For lack of words we blather For alas this is goodbye Go ahead, it's ok to cry Cry tears of laughter For they will laugh hereafter At peace within the light After all, they've earned the right For earth is not our home Just the learning place we roam For lessons we had to learn Called on to home once we earn The soul is a powerful tool So don't play it for a fool For it goes on to the beyond And from there it can still respond So talk aloud to love ones lost No phone bill, there ain't no cost They live on and truly not entombed It is only us that suffer the exit wound Marina Nov. 15 2001 It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen.

My dear, this is absolutely splendid...I don't care if it took nine months, sometimes we have to experience a painful birth to behold joy.... |

It's nice to meet you Marina. This is very good, both the theme and the writing. Food for thought, and I'm always hungry for more. |

The soul is a powerful tool So don't play it for a fool For it goes on to the beyond And from there it can still respond So talk aloud to love ones lost No phone bill, there ain't no cost They live on and truly not entombed It is only us that suffer the exit wound ======================================= Ill bare with ya (OH no..that's gemini s.) hehe SHHHH hey girlie...it is indeed great to see your muse is waking up ....dont sell this piece short either... your played out the theme and metaphor perfectly and that last line wrapped it all up with the poetic impact. So kudos to you and your muse POETESS Marina You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |

Thank you everyone!!! Writing is a struggle for me these days, but I got lucky with this one. Actaully, you might say I had an "inspiration" from a mystery guest. |
