    You can pull me up from my roots
    And place me on your mantle-top
    But my seeds are already growing in fresh soil
    And come the Spring
    I shall Bloom again
    For I
    A mere Daffodil
    Knows
    No death!

    I don't see what the big deal about death is really. Its not all that difficult, all you have to do is live long enough...

    Nice quickie, I enjoyed it.

    Death is a part of life and one day everyone you see is gonna be dead.

    Everything changes, and since we put names on certain forms of things they have beginnings and ends of the time that they fit the definitions of the words we put on them. A boulder is a boulder between the time the lava cools and when the elements break it down because we call a certain size of collected minerals a boulder. But it never was born or died, our label just stuck to it then fell back off. Of course we are afraid of what happens when the label we make for what we happen to be, a living human being, no longer fits.

    i think only peoples bodies die.not their souls.dont know where we're goin',but i know we're goin'somewhere.ya i suppose thats why people are afraid,like ya said.afraid of the unknown.im not afraid cos i was nearly there a few times and it was'nt scary.just very peaceful feelin'.but i'm glad i'm still here for another while.we wont go til' we go.:)

    ?

    Where are you going to?
    What do you want to do?
    Whats in the future?
    What do you see?

    Ships in the day sail by
    Under a clear blue sky
    When you look back
    They have all disappeared!

    Where are you going to?
    What do you want to do?
    Whats in the future?
    What do you see?

    Planes in the night fly by
    Lost in a darkened sky!
    Lost to your mind

    Gone...........

    Out of sight!

    Another drill goes down for oil

    Of Hunger

    Purity

    Clear water
    Flowing from a spring

    Raindrops
    On a windowsill

    Purity
    In all its Glory

    As should be

    The Spirit!

    Both poems are good, certainly made me think. Not many poems do that to me.

    Dannys Song

    You say that folks been talkin'
    bout the way they've seen you walkin'
    bout the friends you hang around with
    bout the blue-patch on your jeans
    bout the places you've been goin'
    not knowin' where your comin' from !
    who are they to criticize ?
    what do they know ?
    who are they to criticize
    when they just dont realize
    all the feelings people hide
    the emotions deep inside
    who are they to criticize
    with one look over their shoulder
    who are they to criticize
    what do they know ?
    from the moment you could walk
    you were pushed from here to there !
    you were busy goin' nowhere
    though you aimed for everywhere !
    yes, you played the part of being clean
    you put the spadework in !
    but everytime the cards got dealt
    someone else picked up the king !
    well your standin' on the corner
    waitin' for your friends to show
    a policeman he walks over
    and says, son you'd better go !
    but you know that you'd done no wrong
    and the streets a public place !
    but they lock you for twelve months
    cause you messed up his cold-steel face.
    well danny you are free now
    you don't have to change your ways
    since they found you hangin' in your cell
    on that cold novembers day
    yes!, they pushed you
    and harassed you
    and drove you to suicide !
    but when you left this world dan
    a lot of people cried !

    Makes me wonder why we always take "inanimate" things such as water as an example for purity.

    Seashore

    Would you walk along the Seashore with me sometime
    some windy winters night

    But not disturb
    My Independent oneness
    With the Universe

    And listen to the sound of waves
    As seagulls cry
    And warn of rains

    That have yet to come!

    Would you ?
    maybe
    Sometime
    Some windy winters night

    Along the Seashore........
