The sky is blue And the roses are blooming. A person might come to believe that The earth is shining in splendor, Smiling so tender; That voices of every past experience Might haunt the core of reality. Count the grand totality Of blessings and tears that you overcame by Smiling and hiding, masking, disguising... The sun is shining to light the rose that rises Achingly from the roughened brown Of mud and pebbles packed, held down. The perfection of world Wears a mask like my own. Deceased dreams and cockeyed nightmares Drown to tones of rainbow light sphere’s Isn’t it all beautiful? The dead man never walks and so This rose was picked for you. - And so it was that time stood still - (blink, breathe, stand, fight) [This message has been edited by GG (03-29-2003 04:29 AM).] |

Alyssa, This is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Soul deep, drenching one with life while speaking of death. This touches like very few ever do. Hugs and love, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, thanks... I guess this one is hard to understand. Its really more of a rant with meaning that can't quite be described. But to explain a little: if you remember what I said of Sweet Williams, when I waited for their blooming to remember my grandma. They were tilled up when her house was moved, so rocks are left there. ..soo, this was just an angry feely write. Thanks again for replying, Hugs and love Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Alyssa, There some wonderful lines and thoughts in this poem. You know I rarely interpret poems as poet intented. Your inspiration for this is interesting, but, I still feel the same as my last reply. Like, for instance: "Count the grand totality of blessings and tears that you overcame by smiling and hiding, masking, disguising... "The sun is shining to light the rose that rises, Achingly from the roughened brown Of mud and pebbles packed, held down. The perfection of world Wears a mask like my own. Deceased dreams and cockeyed nightmares, Drown to tone's of rainbow's light spheres's Isn't it all beautiful? The dead man never walks and so This rose was picked for you." This is awesome poetry and here is a bump. Hugs and love, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, thanks for the bump. I know well that my writing isn't that great, I don't but time or effort into it, so I don't expect it to turn out well, or for others to believe its good either. But still, I thank you that you find it awesome. M, I never go with whats considered normal (or sane for that matter), so surprises are good  thanks for the 'lovely,' much appreciated.God bless! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
