I was born not to live or die but to be I am the two-toed wanderer I am the solder without a home for a-fighting for I am the fool to love I am the child of silence I am the sibling of anger and the cousin of fools I am the burning of leaves I am the sunshine’s terror I am the pins and needles I am the seers’ father I am the maker of questions I am the soul of rebellion and the tear of the mother I am the flickers and flashings of fire I see in visions of time going by forgetting the past I see with the eye of the young man I see no cause and see no resolution I see the woman silhouetted in the breeze calling me I see a breaking of the horizon I see a world made a graveyard I see the silence of children I see the terror of the all Seeing Eye I see roads paved in gold without cars I see loves lost in mere moments of time I see no more for the people who squander I see a hard rains a-gonna fall I hear the stomping of goliaths I hear chiming bells that ring in weddings for no bride or groom I hear the whispers that come when I’m away from my mind I hear some laughter from the people of the future I hear some crying from the people of the past I hear no voices of decisions or choices I hear carnival sounds that sound clearer as I get nearer I hear children at play singing and yelling no cares in the world I hear the sounds of the dividing lines I hear tell of a land without reason without heaven or hell I hear freedom ringing there I hear birds of a feather singing songs in harsh weather I want nothing more than to please and be pleased I want for a shaking and a waking I want no life without love I want soon suns sinking to soon see sunrise I want some fool to tell me what is true I want great children of a deadly age to dictate life and make no change I want to see into the future and see skies I want my children to have it better than me I want my children to be stronger than me I want my children to be better than me I want my children to want nothing I want to want nothing I am the two-toed wanderer [This message has been edited by themute (07-08-2006 11:06 PM).] |

I am I see I hear I want? lol, or just I? as a title just a thought.... "I hear tell of a land without reason without heaven or hell I hear freedom ringing there I hear birds of a feather singing songs in harsh weather" "I want to want nothing" yep, got those on my list too plus a few more |

The first thought that comes to mind is the "I am" quest of poems that was a challenge some time back...and this would have fit very, very well... as for a title for this now? "Private Veracity" |

I love to play with titles "MINDLESS GAMES" "THE MYSTERY OF THE WANDERER" "ENDLESS THOUGHTS" "INTERROGATIONS OF THE MIND" "TRAPPED IN OPINIONS" "CIRCLE OF JUDGEMENTS" Just a few ideas Hugs Bonbon  |

Thanks Sunshine, Bonnie j, and Midnitesun. I think I will use one of bonnie’s that is called “endless thoughts” because ive been told I think too much, plus it feels like the mood of the poem in my mind, it’s a perfect title. Thank you Bonnie J I am the two-toed wanderer |

Cool! Glad you liked the title. Anytime you need a title I'll give it a try. Like I said "Love to play with titles." BonBon |

I liked this poem alot and thought It had the potential to be a song-poem. It was a little long, but kept my attention and I read the entire thing. Much Enjoyed Hugs Kimberly |
