[hometext] => This is kind of something I made that is supposed to be about the emotions I feel that tell me I'm alive. You might not get all of it, but here it is anyway:
[bodytext] => Lightened emotions would be sprawled, like that of strayed ocean on shore So much do the benighted have to be called, away and shut in a drawer When I sit upon hard rock, and feel a chilled rush through my mortality, life is nothing less than a shock, in this place I must call reality Still, when the sun shines, and the corbies caw with the smell of strong pines, I’m left with growing awe As the flowers bloom through my reigning snow, it bears the absence of a doom, And again the feeling of life does flow Strengthening my soul Helping my flesh To make me feel whole To make all seem fresh Finally, I taste the rain, hear the wind, to break this chain and free a spirit so pinned This is it, Nothing more and nothing less, Yet one will always throw a fit, But for us They could bless Only sometimes I know I’m alive When the hail begins, When the drops beat, When the face of death near me grins, And my fate it uses to greet While stress grows and more than one tear flows, When something in you dies just before your life flies, you know you’re living A wound, blood it’s giving You know you’re living To know I’m alive I feel all that’s around thrive [comments] => 1 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 21 [informant] => emberrain [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
