I want so much to be alive
To reach out and touch the sky
To splash in rain
To roll in snow
To go where no one ever goes
To teach to learn
To laugh to cry
To touch again those who have died
To say to listen
To hear to smile
To take my life over many a mile
I want so much to be alive
To be with someone who holds my soul
To open myself
To let them know
All that there is of me and mine
To let them see and feel like the divine

Paul m'friend..your writing has come a long way and this I really like..

Yes, just to feel.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Enjoyed.

What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin.

Go Alanis!

Goodknight,
This is irregular, but I've tried twice today to respond to "To Fill the Coffer", but to no avail. My screen goes blank for quite some time when I press "post", so I'll leave a message here. I had hoped to send the other one back up because I imagine there are others out there who have or have had similar feelings about work, and would rather be writing. You expressed it well.
