"... How dreary to be somebody-- How public like a frog;
To tell one's name; the livelong June-- To an admiring bog"
-Emily Dickinson


Through the clouds we fall.
As our rainbows rip through the atmosphere.
We fall.
We all fall...
sometimes.
Gray influences may weaken and fade our brilliance on the way down.
It cannot be avoided.
We all fall.
Our love strengthens us though we still fall.
pain and suffering may tear through our souls.
Our spirits.
Our dreams.
We have fallen.
Ever falling.
But unfaded.

This poem is to all the gray influences in my life.

I'm really glad. Knowing that I've done something to help anyone makes me feel like I'm doing some things right... When life won't play along, change the rules

What can be more tragic than to feel the boundlessness of the surrounding beauty and to be able to see in it its underlying mystery... and yet to be aware of your own inability to express these large feelings… Isaak Levitan

I love how with your poems you have to think deeper than whats there. Keep writing. You have a gift.
