PG, your stuff always seems to be asking questions, wanting to know the ending before the beginning has even finished it's dance. So to that end, I give you some of the answers your writings seem to so desperately need. I hope you like it, if not I can always try and alter it a bit

Answers

I will paint you the sky
On breathless wings, as you fly
I'll give you the moon
Never more to watch you swoon
I'll be your all
Never again shall I see you fall
I'll give you the world
As your wonderment unfurls
I'll be all that you need
Love begins by planting but a seed
Yet the questions you ask
Add more to my task
So lay back and let it go
We will together follow the flow
The questions can end
As your life takes another bend
So, close your eyes
Grab my hand and we will start to fly
Into this new world never to say our goodbyes.

My, my Mental you are one talented writer!
The sky..........needs to be pink!
Like looking at life through rose colored glasses.

Bleeding Rock

In a lonely graveyard,
Where the lost and lonely go;
I saw a bleeding stone

The words engraved in the slate stated;
Cause of death, a broken heart.

There were no flowers,
But, I did see and feel his thorn.

Buried down deep,
Were flowing, bitter tears.

Pouring out was my own pain,
Upon that very stone
Is a pain, that still remains............. ........~

[Pharm Girl]

I want no more of you!
Leave me ALONE!
Why are you doing this?
Must you torture me?
Do you like teasing me?
You play with me and
move close enough so I think you might
befriend me...?
protect me..?
respect me...?
Stop!
Enough!
Leave me be and get off of my turf!

Stop disappearing!

One of these days
The Earth will start to shake...

Then and only then, we'll realize
There was a risk we needed to take!

One of these days
We'll look all around...

And it’ll all be gone
No memories, no souvenirs……

One of these days
The thought will be too much to bear...

O Great Spirit

Whose voice I hear in the winds,
and whose breath gives life to all the world
-hear me-
I come before you, one of your children.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset..........~
Make my hands respect the things you have made,
my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Make me wise, so that I may know the things
you have taught my People.
The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers,
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

Make me ever ready to come to you,
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades as a fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.............~

[Pharm Girl]

As the day begins with the rising sun,
I ask, Spirit keeper of the East, Brother Eagle,
Be with me……………~
Fly high as you carry my prayers to the Creator.
May I have eyes as sharp as yours,
So I am able to see truth and hope on the path I have chosen.
Spirit keeper of the South, Wolf,
Be with me………..~
Help me to remember to love
and feel compassion for all mankind.
Help me to walk my path with joy and love
for myself, for others, for the four legged,
the winged ones, the plants and all creation
upon Mother Earth.
Spirit Keeper of the West, Brown Bear,
Be with me…………..~
Bring healing to the people I love and to myself.
Bring into balance the physical, mental and spiritual,
so I am able to know my place on this earth,
in life and in death.
Spirit Keeper of the North, White Buffalo,
Be with me………..~
As each day passes, help me to surrender,
with grace, the things of my youth.
Help me to listen to the quiet, and find serenity and comfort in the silences as they become longer………….~

Hey P.G. I read your last piece and for some reason this came bubbling up. I don't know how good it is, but I figured why not post it (if you want it taken down though I completely understand ) I'll try to start writing again soon though.

Kindred

Images pass in a mind now vacant
Ghosts of a past forever taken
You shudder and cringe
As lover huddle upon the fringe

We don't know what the future holds
Beyond our lives that grow so old
We take heart in lives that aren't our own
Within the night only kindred spirits are known

Wrap yourself in that armor so tight
Twisted and warped with titanic might
We know the path laid bare
A life lived in longing care

Dig deep within your mind
Do you understand the killing kind
Lovers wept in a tear-less heartbreak
Bodies bent, motionless as a bloodless stake

Feel it deep inside your soul
A lovers touch now years old
Lean in softly and remember the past
As I lean away to keep our lives masked

[Pharm Girl]

Images in the mind now extinguished
Ghosts of a past forever forgotten
You tremble and flinch
Like lovers huddled at the edge

We know what the future holds
Beyond our lives that grow ever so old
We take heart in lives that aren't our own
In the hours of darkness, only kindred spirits are known

Wrap yourself in that armor so tight
Twisted and warped with titanic might
We know the path lay bare
A life lived in longing care

Dig profoundly within your mind
Do you understand the killing kind?
Lovers weep in a tear-less heartbreak
Bodies bent, motionless as a bloodless stake

Felt deep inside your soul
A lovers touch now years old
Lean in quietly and remember the earlier period
As I lean away only to keep our lives veiled




I forgot how much fun it is to re-write and put on my own twist............~

[Mental]

I know, I'm out of practice, but I'll get it back soon! I hope

[Pharm Girl]

Holding the brightest candle I'd ever seen
I gained the dearest pal I'd ever need


Your heart and words were all I needed to hold
A bond like ours with words cannot be told

Your life with us was just a stop 'en route'
You rested here for only a moment or two
But in those moments a treasure, you give out
Such lessons, priceless gifts, all parts of you!

Though stripped now of my dearest warming sunlight
In the darkness I reach and find you every night

I miss you dear Buddy..............
I miss your friendship.......... .....
I miss you and will cherish your memory forever.

The Dash Movie - WTT

[iron lung]

someone hit the bongo's for pharm girl.

[Pharm Girl]

Subject: The Dash

In July 2006, a short 3-minute movie was launched on the Internet called The Dash. Since then, over 40 million people from around the world have watched it; and over 20,000 a day continue to watch it as a result of people passing it along.

The movie has been more successful than we could have ever imagined. More importantly, however, it has inspired many, many people to reflect on their lives and ask that all important question,

'Are my priorities where they should be?

[Pharm Girl]

Remember me when I’m gone
Far, far away into the “Silent Land”
No more holding me by the hand.

Remember me no more……
Tell me of the future you’ve planned


If you should forget me for a while,
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
Forget the darkness and corruption!

Leave a vestige of the thoughts I once had!
You should just forget and live life……..
Rather than remember and be sad.

[Pharm Girl]

Trust yourself.
You know what you want and need.

Put yourself first.
You can't be anything for anybody else unless you take care of yourself.

Let your feelings be known.
They are important.

Express your opinions.
It's good to hear yourself talk.

Value your thinking.
You do it well.

Take the time and space you need..
Even if other people are wanting something from you.

When you need something,
don't talk yourself out of it.
Even if you can't have it,
it's ok to need.

When you are scared,
let someone know.
Isolating yourself when you're scared makes it worse.

When you feel like running away, let yourself feel the scare.
Think about what you fear will happen and decide what you need to do.

When you're angry,
let yourself feel the anger.
Decide what you want to do;
just feel it, express it,
or take some action.

When you're sad,
think about what would be comforting.
When you're hurt,
tell the person who hurt you.
Keeping it inside makes it grow.

When you have work to do
and you don't want to do it,
decide what really needs to be done and what can wait.

When you want something from someone else, ask.
You'll be okay if they say no.
Asking is being true to yourself.

When you need help, ask.
Trust people to say no
if they don't want to give.

When people turn you down,
it usually has to do with them,
and not with you. Ask someone else for what you need.

When you feel alone,
know there are people who want to be with you.
Fantasize what it would be like
to be with each of them.
Decide if you want to make that happen.

When you feel anxious,
let yourself know that in your head. You've moved into the future to
something scary
and your body has gotten up the energy for it. Come back to the present.

When you want to say something loving
to someone, go ahead.
Expressing your feeling
is not a commitment.

When someone yells at you
physically support yourself
by relaxing into your chair
or putting your feet firmly on the floor.
Remember to breathe.
Think about the message they are trying to get across to you.

When you're harassing yourself, stop. You do it when you need something.
Figure out what you need and get it.
When everything seems wrong,
you are overwhelmed and need
some comforting. Ask for it.
Afterwards, you can think about what you need to do.

When you want to talk to someone new and are scared, breathe.
Don't start rehearsing,
just plunge in. If it doesn't go well, you can stop.

If you're doing something you
don't like to do, (such as smoking or overeating), Stop.
Think about what you really want. If you're stuck and can't think clearly,
talk out loud to someone.

When you can't think straight,
Stop thinking. Feel.

When you're in need of love,
reach out.
There are people who love you.

When you're confused,
it's usually because you
think you should do one thing
and you want to do another.
Dialogue with yourself
or present both sides to a friend.

When you feel harried,
slow down. Deliberately slow your breathing, your speech,
and your movements.

When you have tears, cry.
When you feel like crying
and it's not a safe place to cry,
acknowledge your pain
and promise yourself a good cry later.
Keep your promise.

When everything seems gray,
look for color.

If one of these rules
seems wrong for you,
talk with it with someone.
Then, rewrite it
so it fits you.

Remember,
Be Good To Yourself!

Wisdom is a gift from The Creator. But so are the quiet hints, or the disquieting shouts. In our drive to measure, quantify, and make certain, we mistake mere knowledge for wisdom, and then lean so much on our own degree of knowledge that we override or dismiss the 'hints' that come from the same source as wisdom.

Our spiritual lives are in such disorder that we aren't listening anymore for the things that come from that Source. As we get our spiritual lives back in order, through prayer, worship, study, and the disciplines, we can once again tune in to the signal drowned out by the static of our lives.

The Spirit once again reveals to us what is true. When that happens through anothe
