Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't pretend to be wise beyond by years
I don't pretend to be who I am not
I hope like you
I dream like you
I don't wish for things to be different
I don't believe in second chances
I rage like you
I cry like you
And when wind and snow blow
When rain turns for an instant to flame
When the scent of crushed flowers

Reach my nose I breathe

I pretend that I am whole
I pretend that I am as the rock
I don't hurt like you
I don't feel like you
I pretend that I am the shelter
I pretend that I am the sun on your face
I don't care like you
I don't breathe like you
And when wind and snow blow
When rain turn for an instant to flame
When the scent of crushed roses

Reach my nose I breathe

Death reaches for us all
And we
Sheep that we are
Obey the poet
Rage against the dying of the light
Life pukes us out
And we
Babes that we are
Attempt to prove our worth from day one
What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?

I see the end and know
I see the beginning and remember
I try to tell you
I strive for understanding from you
I see the choices and think
I see the quandary and cry
I am not you
I am not you
And when wind and snow blow
When rain turn for an instant to flame
When the scent of crushed lilies

Reach my nose I breathe

what's coalesced? I like that word.

But I realllllly like the poem. 6(^-^6)
