Hello friends, Last night was one of those "I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well do something" nights. I spent several hours listening to favorite CDs and letting myself relax into facing what I feel about life at the moment. The following came about as I envisioned a misty landscape with hills and trees and myself in the midst of light rain, looking back at life past, looking at life present, and summarily facing what seems a dark, twisting valley walled with high, somewhat forbidding mountains ... a place to review life's phases, to contemplate an uncertain future and dig within to find something to cling to... Tear Trails, Laughter Drops Tears litter my life's trail along with laughter drops Quiet thoughts seem to pale among the reality stops Memories unbidden, long in mental storage, walk freely, unhidden, twisting among the rage Step by step I find I'm led: finish just one more hour one more day, then on to bed Please God give me power to face the present ignore the future shuffle on, posture bent toward today's siren lure To here and now dare life today move by move seize a moment recall victories from yesterdays and call defeats "dream" rent Cry a little, talk some, shout a lot call a friend, maybe call three, converse some, communicate not Must remember: in dreams I am free Copyright 1995--Llyn Gruber May all of you never lose your dreams. I'm convinced they're the fabric of future reality. Without them, there is no reason to move forward. ***** Llyn Gruber <[log in to unmask]> ***** **** Whatever you can do, or dream you can, **** ***** begin it--Johann W. von Goethe *****
