On Monday there will be death- roadkill tarnishing these streets, I cannot wait to see what the future brings- lonely Tuesdays, you stare out the window and wish you were somewhere else fragile but you could withstand stone rain Glass lungs closing up shatter with the need to inhale exhale it kills you but you just don’t care, so long as you live to be 100, (or live until Saturday) die saving someone else (when you barely know your own voice) but then again hurt yourself slowly dieing but surely still alive and that’s more life that could be stopped amidst a heartbeat who is standing in the doorway- strangers standing everywhere… not afraid, only jump at touch needs sound but not from human lips But you just don’t care. at this rate we’ll be dead by Friday And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!" -Tool [This message has been edited by Wind (09-21-2003 08:44 PM).] |

(big hugggsssssss) I truly believe that everyone who helps one another, every philanthropist, has their own anguish to work with, and that is natural, and that proves we are imperfect but have to accept the sympathy and advice as that helps us grow and live! (sigh) With this circle intact, we'll all die at some rate, but not this Friday, but hundreds of Fridays away from now, this is powerful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

My little friend, Liz...I am so glad that I know your poetry writing comes from your brain and not your heart. Therefore, this is not the way you really feel inside. Right??? You know, little lady, you are a brilliant writer.....I just don't understand dark. Love and hugs to you, my friend Ethel |

may I ask what inspired this? you always get me thinking. cos its always something weird, and i love reading the origins of yer writes. gah, some striking lines here.. fragile but you could withstand stone rain Glass lungs closing up shatter with the need to inhale exhale it kills you but you just don’t care, you are the queen of mind aching dark. why does your muse never leave you? i just had to force a write out of frustration. send me some. or i'll kill you by friday. That was an empty threat, i love you. Instant karma's gonna get you. |

slowly dieing but surely still alive and that’s more life that could be stopped amidst a heartbeat You are such a good poet, and always you leave me with a thousand ways to interpret your writing. Good job~ |

Sweet Liz...I knew you were okay. I just wanted you to know that I care if you're okay or not. But, you already know that, too, don't you? And, the music? Gary loves that kind of music. I like Soft Rock, like Enya and Celine Dion and Michael Bolton. But, I love Kiss, too....and the Beatles, and Rod Stewart, and Sheryl Crowe....and on and on... |

Liz, I still cannot fathom how someone so young can write with such depth of emotion. I'd like to think that I have a way with words now, but at your age I was feeling what you are feeling, but, could never dare to match your expression. You have a gift, You kick poetic butt....I'm saving this~ Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

this is why you are my favorite :Þ your poems hold my heart i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective. |

no words of mine would do justice to yours....so i must just say amen joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless... |
