into this person that I have become, I find strength yet some days it seems as though it wants to play hide and seek. Try as I might to find it, it runs .. and I chase it until finally I feel as though I've grown WEAK. I ~ the cat~ running around in circles trying to catch it's own tAiL. Just like the cat who can never catch it, I face reality again.. that I might fail. I curl up into a tight ball to rest.. so that I might awaken again to face a new day. And somewhere along the way... REFRESHED.... I search deeper shining a brighter light  so that once again my strength might conquer this game played called life. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 11-13-2001).] |

Can't quite put my finger on why I like this, but I do...perhaps it's because it is about a cat, and there are no kitty-kickers present.... |

Hi there, Gentle Spirit - I like your poem, especially the part about you getting your tail chased - stepping on tails is almost as much fun as kicking... almost... heh. As for the poem, it appears you are coming to terms with who you are and where you are going. It takes a lot of soul searching to write about that subject. You've done it well..

oops...me thinks that the kitty kickers are present today...but yes, it is searching and coming to terms with who we are, and facing it and being happy in it...shucks.......I'm rambling..... thanks to both of you...

This really touches me...coming to terms with yourself and learning who you are...there is no better place to be. So glad you shared this with us. I hope you'll always be proud of who you are. Can you tell I missed you yet?~Somy... Sincerely, Regina |

Oh I like this one!! The references to the cat sealed it for me, but I can very much relate. So well said, GS. All writing comes |
