Okay so this is the first time I've posted on the list (poems anyways) and I've probably been on here for a good 6 months..anyways dont be too hard (: Andrea The mask I wear protects my facade from melting. I laugh as my fake optimism takes over. But tonite I could not hide from you, though I pushed away, your comforting presence, doesn't mean I want it any less. I just fear and kind of touch or happiness. * * * * So much anger with no healthy outlet So many friends but no true caring To many thoughts to fathom. To many false truths to hear. Imprisoned in a room with no exits and no safe entrances. Each day determined to move on but all I do is regress. For once I would like to break free of the barriers that surround me. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 12:32:01 PST From: "Anna Dickinson" Subject: ET: poems Dear eda-members, Here are some poems I would for you to see, there were inspired by Jewel. Meaning when I get writers block I listen to her songs or read her poems and it helps. I would appreciate input on them and/or any poems you would like to send to me. Also does anyone know where I can get poems published? Thanks and enjoy=) Life Is A Miracle purple flowers bloom, just inches away snow has fallen, what a beautiful sight to find inspiration in; flowers forging there way, through the frozen ground, to live, to breathe, to feel the warmth of the sun... Life Is A Miracle; that God creates with, each new day, forging us through a frozen society, to live, to breathe, to feel the warmth of His touch, upon our hearts... Life Is A Miracle. By Anna Dickinson Beginning Of A New Day My soul drips with blood stained tears As I wipe away each one, I wipe away a fear, But as I look in the mirror, I see a reflection of society, which I fear; And I pray and hope for a better future to draw near... For I can see a happier time Beyond the pain, A brighter place, after the rain... And there in the clearing, behind the clouds of sadness, On the shore, stands our children, no longer seperated by anything, but united in peace forever more... For this is not the beginning of our end, But merely the end of our beginning. By Anna Dickinson Here's a poem I wrote about my husband who had to be away for a few months: The Guitar You came to me One morning... with new nylon strings, two pair. Also some new things you use to turn and tighten or loosen the strings, depending on what note you want. Said " I'm going to fix up this dinky little thing." But now the guitar, the "dinky little thing" sits unattended, without your fingers to make it sing. Like it used to. Making beautiful music, while I sang along... You're not here, to sing to me. "Hey Good Looking" there's nothing cooking here lately... Not since you left behind a "dinky little" guitar, that needs your repair; All beat up and out of tune, Just like my heart... thumping out of tune, because it needs your fingers to come and " fix it up", to make beautiful music with it; it needs you, I need you; To make my heart sing. By Anna Dickinson Hope(A true story) laughter resounded from our miserable situation, despite poverty's best effort to drown us, we found inspiration. in all things big or small, through His mercy and small gifts, we did not fall. watching the sun rise, hand and hand, seeing the beginning of a day we knew, that was not the end. i know it's wrong to have pride, but i am proud of us and what we've gone through, side by side. love, the greatest of God's gifts, with it we were able to stay adrift. among all the pain and sorrow, we found hope in each new tomorrow. and in His promise we knew, that we would get through. holding on tight to that and each other, we knew nothing could drown us, no never. as long as the sun still rises, we can stay hopeful through any crisis. By Anna Dickinson Wind wind oh wind, blow; blow to and fro, blow all through the night, blow my pain out of sight. wind are you lonely too? howling for a love so true? my heart sympathizes with you, howling for my love so true. are you heard by yours? mine, i'm not so sure. oh wind you sound so lonely, just like me. howling for love so true, are you? howling for love so true. By Anna Dickinson That's all for today, more later. Write me and let me know what you think. Thanks=) Anna D.

You almost ruined my life, but you're not that powerful. You've taken something from me that I know can't be replaced-- ever. But you will remember me, and what you did, and it will tear you apart. You don't show remorse now, but you will. And you'll hate yourself for the rest of your life. Assuming you don't take it yourself. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
