MYSPACE

I sit here anxiously staring at my computer's display
Curious what others are doing and what the worlds about
All the ideas and thoughts fill my head with such disarray
Have I checked in? Or is this my way of checking out?

Everyone thinks they're connected; they're in! They're where its' at!
Its like going to the koolest party anywhere around
They can browse, buy, sell, blog and do instant chat
They can research anything; even the unknown can be found

So I surround myself with information, it only takes one click
Enough is enough! I should just log- off and walk away
I've become addicted to downloading media and instant music
So I sit here anxiously staring at my computer's display

A TRUE FRIEND

The delusions of this past year seeped into my mind and heart like a slithering snake
It bit me with its poisons that one often thinks they are immune to
I became paralyzed
I couldn't step backward
I couldn't move forward
When I felt your concern and care, I hugged it like the life preserver it was and still is
I spilled out my heart with my temporal joy and with tears of anguish
They flooded your ears, tied up your phone line and tested the patience of your husband and children
I feel the snake still close by, coiled up, ready to strike. I have to carry my stick, be on guard
I'm getting weaker
I've been so thankful to you for being there,
and I feel so helpless now to be a friend to a friend in need
It hurts to know I've let you down and even more knowing I'm letting God down
He hasn't asked much, just to love him, by loving others
To believe in him, by putting my trust in him, knowing that he knows best
But I've been the independent and stubborn child that thinks she has it all in control
I've been victimized by my own pride, bitterness and selfishness
like luggage floating to the surface after a shipwreck
I feel like I'm coming to the end of a long, dusty road, only to realize I've taken the wrong turn
I need to turn back, face the right direction and start walking
I've been hesitating.......Its along way back

Visions Within

Slowly...like the sun's rays breaking through the foggy mist
Gently.....softly...he appears...he exists

So close, I almost feel his breath brush against my cheek
A rush of warmth fills every vein within me, I lose all consciousness, I become weak

I want to turn and run, become obscure
What does this all mean? I'm not sure

It's too late... I'm held captive by eyes, filled with love, that pierce into the depth of my heart
He whispers..."we will never be apart"

And then he's gone...just like he came
I feel his presence, his love, and I don't even know his name
