the who of who we are akin to truth fascination flash narrative inner workings by other persons gaining direct access to an emotional crumb contemplating the infinite world while swinging with childhood self-expression comes out of the closet another point of view finds voice true chronicles testifying explaining rationalizing rearranging skins of inner minds souls distant yet close with the warmth of coat wizards of out of body experience connotations of co-ops kicking around imagination illumination and a stretch of things now discarded forgotten in my case self evaluations in some other dimension some left exposed some all mine for later expressions a chunk of my heart still leans toward the unexplored free cause I wanna be and closer to the guy responsible for my birth I am only a woman of mortal fiction branded with irony sometimes drunk with deprivation two stepping through crowds nearly dwarfed while stroking the fire that hides in the alleys of memorizing shapes & sounds societies outcast purely by choice alone yet filled with great companions great songs with voice tail lights gleam in the rear view mirror and we marvel while viewing jewel-studded cities yellow winds of prayer unicorns on the beach things only poets dream imagry of words dressed in pure fur dinner and a movie gathering flaxen cocktails not impossible to obtain seems I’m always cross parking in fourth place yet its ok really sometimes I want for no thing perhaps theres still time so I browse through consignment stores one never knows what might skip their way with a song and a prayer I might share that home someday while along the oceans the seas great cities I've never been I imagine you warmed by some influence of fondness delicately wiping the hairs of morning from my face sometimes I ponder who we might have been? |

Worth contemplating LeeJ, but I often find myself being content with who I am. Then again I guess that because it has been a rather interesting journey. Enjoyed your reflections mate. The Grey |

Lee, Your name means 'meadow'. Walking with you through yours, you express wonderfully who we are and how your inner workings move. I can feel your courage and the singularity of your heart that dreams in your uniquely beautiful way. The thoughts run through you like a river. You are filled with "great companions, great songs, great voice, and the dreams only a poet can dream." L O V E L Y L E E ! ~ Karen |

"I imagine you warmed by some influence of fondness delicately wiping the hairs of morning from my face sometimes I ponder who we might have been?" That's what I call ending it with a BANG  Superb! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Yes, LeeJ, of course it's a masterpiece - it's what you do and I salute you! Well, okay then, I'm also bowing and it's a pleasure to do so. |

Lee, I love you, girlfriend! As I have said to you on other occasions, to know the real you is to love you. This poem reflects so many aspects of the real you and you shared them beautifully with your readers ~ and friends.  Great big loving hug, Linda P.S. My gawd girl, you sure can write!!! |

"yellow winds of prayer unicorns on the beach things only poets dream" Life is a better place for poetic dreams such as yours. A beautiful poem that strikes a chord in so many of its lines. Thankyou for letting us in. |
