Do Not Ask Of Me, Things, That Are In Vain
3 January, 2004
Author: ShyHeart
I lay in thirst, upon the burning sand and curse the sun
That dries my soul and burns, deep into my dying, bones
Then, the Sun appears to grow dim, clouds, suddenly appear
As if, a gift has come to me, its, thunder, that brings me to my knees
A wind, begins to blow and lightening, suddenly, shakes my soul
Then a rain, not falling down, but whipped, from side to side
It tries all the strength, I have left inside, I’m cold now, to the bone
Again, I curse, this time, the rain, rain, I had prayed for, its now, all mine
As if, this were, all a dream, I hear these words, from my Lord
“Ask, and you shall receive, in volumes, beyond belief…,
For I am the answer to all questions, ask and I will answer,”
Upon hearing this, I ask for nothing else but, one thing of my Lord
Forgive me Lord, for I unknowingly, jest with your power
Each time I have asked, you have been there for me
Now, I realize, if, I am to survive, I should not ask in vain
For all the comforts that I need, will come if, I believe in your name

| Martin Vann (171.75.221.82) -- Tuesday, February 3 2004, 11:13 pm Leah06, As always, coming back is easy, but, bringing something to the table other than my smileing heart is a bit more difficult. Thank you for reading this work and I did have YOU, Leaah06, in mind as I was told, to once again, put pen to soul and write. I have read some of your poems, no need to be in a corner because, there is no lite, nor life there and the future is nothing but, dim. Come out into the light, you will be better able to see, what you are in need of, as compared to wishing for! UM |

| Martin Vann (67.75.178.69) -- Wednesday, February 4 2004, 10:37 pm Sarah, Thank for your comment. You can write and very well, I know you can. Often, the problem is we try and write a script for our maind and force it you our pen. You can not write other than words with that process. Try this, just wriet about a feeling and let the words flow, this works, don't think about rhyme or spelling at first, then go back and read your thoughts, your words are friends, not strangers, listen to them, now write, what they say! I warn you, prepare for an adventure with three of your best friends, heart, soul and pen! MartinV |
