SISTER-GIRL Laying in the sunset of eternal beauty, I see my sister swaying in the wind Still she lies listening to the Whispers of my soul. She hungers not, For she is filled with the love Of my heart...for we are both Born from the richness of the land. I sustain her...as she does I For we are one and the same... Sharing all that we are Within the silence Of stolen moments. As I walk in the footsteps of her domain I feel her energy boundless.. Intoxicating and captivating.. I move through life feeling The shadow of her fervent spirit And as I breathe her air... Finally I live... Gloria Ware (c) gware01@lanier.com ============================================================== handling rejection just wanting something to go out and test the waters somehow improving one's life and to find that other level not always the results one desires as one falls short so easy to question one's self and get into doubts didn't always have the success didn't always have the objectivity and measuring self-worth wasn't always so sure that it would happen eventually in time times were when nothing seemed to happen for months and years at a time when something did come through it wasn't what was wanted you usually get what you need when you're so adamant on a certain thing you often are afraid and then you return to it later on in time the ideas were always there in front of you and it was a question of the initiative the motives weren't always as clear as the proposed solutions yet to think of it as rejection you feel as though perhaps they're onto something getting caught up in the cynicism it's one's self you begin to reject forgetting that at one time the narcissism was a good thing forgetting that self confidence did not equate to arrogance forgetting that too much was always better than too little to walk on a plane in which you're disillusioned other's looking at you and everyone is critical of you you can barely hold your head up and you can't look anyone in the eyes you're fixated on inanimate things and play games within to entertain just to find out that no one was paying you any attention at all why is it we feel we stand out when there's nothing different about us why is it we want attention but yet want to recluse into the background why is it we fear the worst when it's only something positive that we're proclaiming why is it to know that you can't live with yourself without the statement yet you can live with knowing you never took the chance and there's such a short period of time, and it's not the successful one's in the end it isn't the famous or the rich or on the other hand the infamous and fabulously poor everyone thinks it's the beautiful or the skinny yet they all think that it's us and yet everyone has that own level they can achieve put it all on a level playing field nonetheless to fall short out of their own insecurities in the end we have to answer for how much we failed and of what we failed was due to how we tried, not to how we secluded because the measure of the integrity is in that and the measure of the character how many different avenues traveled in reaching that ultimate goal Chris Kendalls (c) chris_kendalls@hotmail.com ============================================================== WHEN YOU'RE AROUND When I see your smile It brightens my day And I just can't help But to smile back your way When I see your eyes There's no one else I can see I block everything out, 'Till it's just you and me When I see you Walking my way I'm just so happy I don't know what to say When I hear your voice I can feel my heart melt Thinkin' if you only knew How I really felt When you're around You drive me insane I can only hope That you feel the same Rebecca D (c) delsol@tupac.com ============================================================== POSITIVELY When you see you have traveled down the wrong road, Just stop right there and drop the load. Do not look back, NO! Not even once; Forget the should of's and could have's and congratulate yourself with a hug. Now let God carry your load. Let us say denial was faced finally today, Give God the GLORY, HONOR and PRAISE. Do not forget to Thank GOD for the WISDOM he gave, Take this new knowlege and continue on your journey of the road you have paved. Share this with others, show them the way. Deppression, anger, anxiety, guilt and shame, These are all lies and not a product of God, All lies that somewhere, somehow came to be, Learned from others, religion, culture or maybe society and you believed; Seek GOD and His TRUTH will set you FREE. Have patience and watch LOVE grow, Open your heart and let peace flow, Open your mouth and believe; Have faith in the Almighty to help you in His eternity forever to see. You my friend will be set FREE. Have patience and practice self control, But be careful how you pray for that one, Take time to see beauty; In nature and every living breathing moving and standing thing, Examine thine self daily. Seek GOD first in the morning as you rise, With Him then seek your quiet time, One on one His word you read, Pray that God will take away the lies that keep you in captivity, Think POSITIVELY. Seek POSITIVELY for blessed you will be, Write this down and practice this peace, Forever give GOD the Glory for He and only His TRUTH shall set you free. Thank GOD in JESUS' name. Leilani High (c) LLo9228134@aol.com ============================================================== 5 + 1 = DEATH I try not to let it cross my mind But the more I try, the longer the time My insecurities through past lives Brokenhearted, one through five I just cannot help to wonder Why our relationship has not plundered The thoughts my foes have instilled in me Has made me question if you love faithfully I know you do, but again the past Makes me think will the fifth be the last If six is born, I shall breathe my final breath For the devil's number will be my death Jezula (c) Jezant@aol.com ============================================================== ENDLESS From the heart of man to the foot of love on the run... All love shared flows through to beyond ones soul. If ever love falls from my path then I shall fall! If ever love should collapse from within my heart then I to collapse! My life, love and all that is to come have grown to know you as an essential part, a flow if you will, a niche. Something great, but meager, something awesome, however humble, something blind, however beautiful. All that is, all that has come, all that is love - you! As I grow to newness and have surpassed the old, other things, which were in the midst has remained in its place, in tact and complete. A gentle whisper, persona even, a cool breeze, you are a silent prayer, love beyond touch, touch beyond reality and reality unknown to this world! Hold still my heart never pass, nor follow, stay with me, beside me always. Derrick Walker (c) WalkerDA@mail.nih.gov ============================================================== UNTITLED Sometimes my mind feels trapped in a whirling tornado. Life presents me with so much turbulence that even the good times are so easily forgotten, And in the midst of it all, I can hardly find a comforting phrase or thought helpful. I look at those who face similar difficulties, and those who wish they Could be in my shoes because their problems far exceed any I have seen. (Thinking) to myself How could I be so selfish in believing I deserve some pacifying moment? I stand alone is the feeling I get in my times of struggle and no one But my Creator sees, To over-stand it so, I write notes to my Creator admitting, not often enough. By communicating with my Creator, I realize something. I am a part of the All, So why then do I feel helpless? FOR I CAN ALTER MY CIRCUMSTANCES!! YES I CAN ROLE THAT ROCK FROM MY PATH AND ATTAIN MY WEALTH FROM BENEATH. KNOWING THAT SOMETIMES, I WILL NOT BE GRANTED THE ABILITY TO DO AS SUCH FOR REASONS UNFORSEEN BY ME. Naa-Shorme Norteye ©
