Alone, you stand on a hill Storming in those tears That finds your soul In a throbbing heart Finding your gut In a heaving stomach Tossing winds of thoughts In whirlwinds of self destruction Of your own self value Just when, everything is wrong A shadow blankets your warmth Cuddling you like a lost babe As the moisture in you Evaporates into nature’s song Of just how special you are For your salvation Is believing in your own self Everyone having jumped On the bandwagon Of seeing your vulnerability Swarming in a death march Sensing the blood of victory Unloading in vicious words Of raging insensitivity Never sensing your vitality To circumvent impending doom In a smile hurting inside Saying nothing evil Having survived Your emotional downfall Trapped in the truth Things will eventually Work itself out For those who perpetuated it Again, become faded ghosts Awaiting silently To slay your individuality Wanting to conquer you As a mantle piece But as long as you can find That hill again That will cradle you In the innocence of a baby In a mother’s arms Who will never see the lies That others do Taking you in, a hug that, Drains you of your doubts Oh fresh air, I feel much better For the moral of this poem Is mirrored in your face Maybe in a tear seeing A poets words cradle you In the rainbow of your heart Now shining so dynamically Positively uniquely self assured For in you is a very special gift That can survive anything For you will never be defeated In your own cuddles Thoughts: In all my darkness that sees me as a failure why is it that an invisible light shines through. Thought: In words poets are created, tormented, destroyed and reinvented: whispering in them until the last breath takes them floating away in time. (Thanks for the special poets here thay put up with me for my journey is a roller coaster) D.Lester Young 2/26/2003 Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh David, this is so very true, sweet friend, you better believe it, and we must not dwell in the darkness but rather embrace the light, if one contemplates all his life about what the darkness in, you never find an answer! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet David, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A very good book submission, David. I think everyone feels like this, sometimes. Remember, all of us in your big family of friends at Passions are always here for you. "Love makes the world go around" |
