I am a poet hidden behind the jester I wonder if I’ve lived before I hear the sound of a heart hurting I see colors of a person’s soul instead of colors of a person’s skin I want to be able to write whenever I want I am a poet hidden behind the jester I pretend that hurtful words don’t hurt me I feel as though I am an alien in this world I touch God’s sigh in the wind I worry that humanity will self-destruct I cry because people are so cruel sometimes I am a poet hidden behind the jester I understand that it is my fate to be this way I say everything in life happens for a reason, there is a plan I dream of a world where we are all brothers and sisters I try to be kind to everyone, to even the meanest spirit I hope I am worthy enough to go to heaven I am a poet hidden behind the jester |

Thanks for re-posting this one, PDV...I missed it the first time...and it is absolutely SPECTACULAR. I loved it all...but especially these lines I hear the sound of a heart hurting I see colors of a person’s soul instead of colors of a person’s skin ~ hugs of excellence Lyra |

We are all things unseen, let them draw conclusions...the heart renders what it know's best! Really nice poem~ |

I hear the sound of a heart hurting I see colors of a person’s soul instead of colors of a person’s skin I could pretty much ditto Madame's response... for I don't remember this one... and if my mind has lost memory of something this superb, I'm having FAR too many senior moments. *G* I love this, PDV... excellent! |

love this. I remember a challenge like this at a forum I used to frequent. I will have to dig it out if I can find it and post. I believe the challenge must be close the same. The theme in that one was to write about yourself......I enjoyed this PDV I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~~(Garth) |
