The Questions, the Feelings
The fear makes no sense at all
Frustration and tear drops
But forever standing tall.

EXPECTATIONS (September 4, 2003) Growing up Getting older Surviving childhood Becoming bolder Having models Of what life's about Where it went wrong I have many a doubt Being a woman Flung into a mans world Prying me loose My soul now unfurled Going to work Paying the bills Servicing the car A battle uphill Feeling so strange Different and Unique Where'd it go wrong? The outcome seems bleak Waiting for silence For it all to end Expectations are gone And peace is my friend

FEAR (October 31, 2002) West Nile; Air Pollution Cancer, War, Diseases These are but a few of the fears As the Unknown taunts and teases. Work Stress, Rush hour traffic, Projects that are due. Attitudes, competition These are what make us blue. Humans are creatures It's interesting to note Their true being they hide Like drowning in a moat. The objects of their fears Stampede them till they freeze It comes crashing like the seas Or transparent as the breeze. The dark and unknown they fear Adult and child alike, Hidden away they stay In all their panic and fright. Tis really all not necessary If my words they would heed Close your eyes and look inside, As I know you have the need. Once there you'll see what's truly real Inside this place is love. Here is where your soul can heal And free you like a dove.
