As always all comments are welcome! The Death of a Heart (Death of Hope) Of hopes and wishes turned to nothing- Of which my soul does scream- And a melodious song of woe it does sing,--- I the foolish poet caught in a dream. Suddenly my death is so real, Cold as ice, hard as steel. I charge to this fate the valiant, foolish knight. I know and accept my doom, my bane. I charge against the dying of the light--- And shelter myself from tears like rain. My heart is now so very weak. I will never attain what I desperately seek. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 22:13:43 PDT From: "Jeremy Hodgins" Subject: ET: Poetry.....

"When we chop down the tall poppies, only the weeds remain." "Make pictures in your mind. See the destination. Imagine your arrival. Dream in perfect datail. See yourself the way you want to be when you arrive. See yourself arriving. Make yourself a road map and study in every day until you know the way and the detination by heart." "You've spent your life walking down the centre of the road. You tell yourself it's important to be safe. Securitycomes first. It's a hard cruel world, so you'd better play it safe now than be sorry later. Fools rush in.... But nothing is more certain that that if you walk down the centre of the road, you are going to be hit by the traffic coming from both directions. Playing it safe is the most dangerous thing you can possibly do." "Can you remember when you were a kid and you'd lie in the grass on your back and watch the clouds scud above you and dream of what you were going to be when you grew up? Well, what happened?" Thats all!

By the way, the poem I sent yesterday I wrote in the college library when I was feeling really down. It was my impressions of the library :) SUMMER Well I remember those long Summer evenings. Purple twilight covering the sky. Happiness in the balmy air Filled with emergent dreams and secret pains. Good luck & best wishes to all Robert. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 13:45:28 EDT From: JonBoy911@aol.com Subject: Re: ET: From jeremy To eda thoughts! This is MESSED up!

How are you doing? My name is Shannon. I've read about your difficulties in life and how you were thinking about ending it all, and I just want to say that God is watching over you. If you're a believer that things happen for a reason, then I hope you'll realize that things WILL get better. Just like Jewel says, there's a presence of angels around all of us- in the sky, in the trees, all around us. And I believe that if you have faith, things will get better. I promise. Just remember Jewel's song "Angel Standing By." I know that when things get tough, it's hard to get past it all, or even see past it all; sometimes you think that no one understands and you're all alone, but you're not alone and you never have been. Sometimes you have to try to move on and put your faith in yourself and think of all the beautiful things you have. And Steve, please just remember that things will get better, and that us EDA's care about you. With much love, "All through the night Shannon I'll be watching over you. And all through the night I'll be standing over you. And through bad dreams, I'll be right there, baby, holding your hand, telling you everything is gonna be alright. And when you cry, I'll be there, baby, telling you You were never nothing less than beautiful. So don't you worry, I'm your Angel standing by." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 22:28:24 -0400 From: Christopher Overholser Subject: ET: Poem (Withdraw) This is an ancient poem. It is from may of 97. Sadly, it still applies today. All comments are welcome! Withdraw Why does every survey show the world has gone topsy-turvy and people commit suicide and fall vie drugs and alcohol knowing all too well they seal their fate and combined with cigarettes its just too late to escape this deadly, dark path and all that the gain by their weakness, is strengthening withdraw's wrath and making more pain until they are a docile slave or end up in a grave. ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V2 #295 **********************************
