(I'm posting this for the mere satisfaction of Miss Vicky..Hope you enjoy a post from me...Its nothing spectacular, just something written down the road...  )They say I have written sadly I say I have written swiftly Purging poisons from my soul So that I might have the opportunity To live; To breathe without thought of dying To speak without thought of crying To laugh without thought of lying I write of fear And become courageous I write of love lost And become lovable I write of death And become accepting of Life’s last chapter… How can they say of what I write While they sit in their tight little world Of black and white Entering not unto my world With open mind or thoughts to mingle They come with jaws set And hands balled shut… My world is more colorful than that… -dgvarner 5-25-03 [This message has been edited by dgvarner (07-19-2003 10:45 AM).] |

Oh yes!!! I like this.. very, very much. I surely wish people wouldn't presume to "understand" me.. I like what you wrote as well as how you wrote it. Pepper |

Okay...first of all, let's get one thing straight. You know that, as far as I'm concerned, everything that you write is 'spectacular'.  Now...about the poem...I love it. The whole thing is cool, but I especially like these lines... "To live; To breathe without thought of dying To speak without thought of crying To laugh without thought of lying I write of fear And become courageous I write of love lost And become lovable I write of death And become accepting of Life’s last chapter…" Those lines are just so 'you'...I can actually 'hear' you saying them in my mind...and THAT is cool. So glad you decided to 'satisfy' me by posting this...lol. You know I'll always be your #1 fan.

"They come with jaws set And hands balled shut… My world is more colorful than that…" Nice lines, dg. But, ain't it a shame. I live amidst this and must look a sore thumb to them all . . . Have missed reading you, kid. Write on, I enjoy it. Kraw' |

"I write of death And become accepting of Life’s last chapter…" You know, I sincerely thank you for these particular words... I didn't realise before now that my writing of his death was the way to accepting it... thank you ... Even though you're gone ... |
