If eternity
Is a straight line
What color is it?

when life
takes a wrong turn
why do we always get there?

If we
really are brothers and sisters
why does it get cold?

who knows
what the stain
of silence looks like?

why is
white?

I look
in the mirror and
I always see you.

When the point plunges
and speckles the walls,
the glass,
spills quickly
covering what will never
be the same
joy and sorrow
begin and end
never to appear
in my eyes again

Wow, Noel, powerful stuff you write! Like it a lot.

[hoops]

thank you agnes. i must admit, i don't know where it comes from, or why me. I don't spend any time trying to write poetry. I just get a thought stuck in my head and it comes out. I can;t remember any poem every taking me more than ten minutes to put down on paper and i never change what i've written. So it's not me, but i thank you
peace

Great stuff Hoops. I especially like the 2nd and 3rd strophies.
And you said the magic words as to how creativity works- not trying.
It happens of its own accord, spontainiously.
And hey, unless your'e channeling Seth or some other nonsense, its you in there somewhere. We occassionaly tap into things, hear whispers and see flashes, but give yourself some credit.:)

[hoops]

I bow to you all in gratitude and respect
peace Hoops
