Here I Am By: Noah Eaton 1/3/02 Here I am, in a Salvador Dali dreamscape Losing myself in scrapbooks of memories Here, they are no revolving doors or emergency exits Just a microcosm of a world left to breathe in You opened Pandora's box Set all peace into anarchy Exaggerated your ulterior motive Turned your back and kept your fingers crossed You shook the world like Poseidon Left David struggling to maintain balance And as the last fallen hero said his final words You tried to erase them from your mind All you wanted was harmony But you jumped the gun And then you screwed it up Here I am, in a Salvador Dali dreamscape Losing myself in scrapbooks of memories Here, they are no revolving doors or emergency exits Just a microcosm of a world left to breathe in You stole the trident as your own But your fear acted like a tuning fork Force of havoc, then you stumble Split your empire like a fjord You thought the honey was sweet But it was all brown sugar You tried to maintain your health With a Confucius supply of ginger All you wanted was harmony But you jumped the gun And then you screwed it up Here I am, in a Salvador Dali dreamscape Losing myself in scrapbooks of memories Here, they are no revolving doors or emergency exits Just a microcosm of a world left to breathe in Take a bath, wash your feet Like Mary Magdalene Make new friends, keep the old Some are never certified gold But love your neighbors Find the time to pray Reconfigure the whole precession Seize the day, don't let it feign What would you say if you looked at yourself in the mirror And saw your youth decay? Have an apple a day Keep the doctor away Even when you feel uneasy Accept every opportunity Even when it seems contradictive And when you wave goodbye to me I will wish you the best As my strong feelings for you are inevitable But please don't forget me... Please don't forget me...  "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (01-03-2003 10:49 PM).] |

Daliesque. Trapped in the seams of life. Time to go to the art museum and find some new dreamscapes. It's really hard to keep your head above ground when your heart feels like it's been sucked into a deep bottomless pit. Hang in here, Noah, and keep writing. |

Noah, What I feel in this poem is your strength, wisdom, compassion and even understanding. It is amazing to have such, during this painful time. You are an extraordinary poet and human being. It isn't so much forgetting you but realizing what ~she~ lost. Such a kind, loving man, you are. I am so glad to get to know you through your poetry. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers. Many warm hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Lovely gathering of familiar phrases and a poignant ending. You will not be forgotten by me, I'm too sure. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I like your intentional use of cliche to make your point here, Noah. Forget you? How could anyone forget you! Cor |

Beautiful write, sometimes sadness and pain raises our artistic abilities. I am sad that you are sad but happy to be able to read your lovely works. Joy will be yours. I am an enigma, even unto myself. |
