Got into a mood jam...thought i might sent this out, see if there are any takers...


"Do you remember?"

Do you remember,
That feeling that you get,
When your heart lurches
Out of your chest?
In unexpected moments
That take your breath away
Seeing that little instance,
That opportunity to say,
"I like you."

Those moments you stop
To think if it's worth
To wait or to jump
With excitement and mirth.
Do you remember how it feels,
Of not being sure
Of what is and what may.
Yet, one thing is clear,
"I like you."

Do you remember what it feels
To want to know if
It's just a thought--pure imagination,
Or a possibility might exist.
Yet knowing makes no difference,
As everything is a desire,
To fulfill a yearning unquenched
We find ourself the liar.
And say to ourself, "I shouldn't like you."

Do you remember what you did?
Did you jump or run?
Did you stay or hide?
And did you have your fun?
Was it worth the wait?
Did you let it slide?
Do you want some more?
Was it love or pride?
Tell me your thoughts, as i have mine.

"Smile"

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
It lets me know that it's okay (yeah, it's okay)
And the moments when my good times start to fade

[Chorus:]
You make me smile like the sun,
Fall outta bed
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record,
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

[Chorus]

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

[Chorus]

(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile...


-- unexpectedly, you have been making me smile...in a very nice way...and i appreciate that...a lot.

finally found one in english...sortof...

<take me out of the dark>-Gary valenciano

Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go

And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel

You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all

And though I love You so
Temptation finds it's way to me

Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there

You've never left my side
You gave Your hand to me to hold
Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold

And yet, I leave You there
When I feel satisfied
I'd like to thank You every day
Not only when I feel that way

I've never known a Man
Who'd give His life for sinners like me
And yet, because He loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise
And be His if we have faith
And just believe

Teach us to trust in you
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
We just forget
You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark, My Lord
'Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
We don't wanna be there, My Lord

Trust in You with all my heart
Lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
I don't want to be there

Woman, I hear you roar...


"Femme"

What makes you and who?
Your calmness and fury do
Belong in beauty and a burning to be everything
As water and wine for the masses and kings.
Flowing outlines that define your being
That thoughts do glide in endless seeking.
Where do you start and how do you end?
You are the philosopher's stone, an allure that transcends,
To know you, and have you, in sacredness and in sin,
Where answers stop, more questions begin.

Child of wonder, child of might
That gives the world its lively light.
Restless spirit of land and sea,
Find your abode that you may be
A sprite that dances in fields of gold,
And sits as still whence one is told
With seeking mischief in thine eyes,
While laughing gaily in surprise,
And innocent belief in what you do,
Such is the blessing inside of you.

When change did come and felt within,
A clashing inside thee did begin,
Of wants and needs and lusts do lie,
As guile and wantonness would deny,
Your simple yearnings of life's giving
Tangled in hopes of your receiving,
As known to you as the unknown
And fully you emptied that you've shown,
Your own self poured upon the earth
Of men and beasts of your rebirth.

Shattered and endless your tears did flow
Death's grip released did not let you go,
But only for a moment, you sold your pain
And stood while broken, but never in vain.
A fragile warrior that sought destiny,
To create, to hold, to nurture and carry,
And be your own self as others you made
This led your path, once paid, now repaid.
A finished but unended turning of tides
That binds together the lasting divide.

This enigma, our myst�re.
This chaos, our desire.
This essence, our madness.
This blessing, our presence.
The proclivities we choose to take or leave,
In wantings prove what we aggrieve.
In the harmony of senses we make our home,
And in the threshold of our silence, alone
With unexpected longings that still pierce our depths,
That in timeless rememberings, we keep and are kept.

Dear friend/s,

It's funny how I met you, since I wasn't really looking for you. I guess that's how life happens. I learned a little bit about you, and a lot more about myself. I never really understood what that saying, "Don't look for yourself in others, then they will not look for themselves in you" really meant until I found myself because of you. Maybe you understood this, without really thinking about it. Maybe that’s why we're friends.

"Man in the Mirror" is a nice song. It simply says that a change for the better in the world has to start with a change for the better in ourselves. There is always room for improvement. Time and time again, I see people unwilling to take a hard, honest look at themselves, myself included.

Sometimes, we think that our worth is what everyone else thinks we are worth. Other times, we like others to think we are worth more than what we feel about ourselves. That is fine, that is natural.

I notice that the terrible things happen is when we begin to believe we are much too much more than what we actually are. It’s sad how people treat each other, just because of this inflated mis-perception of self; and sadder what we do to ourselves because of it, without even knowing it, without even batting an eyelash.

I'm glad I met you. I'm glad we’re friends--as far as this kind of friendship goes. It's always a pleasure to learn and unlearn things about me, about you, about love, science, religion, politics, relationships, humor, seriousness and everything else in between and beyond. The world may be your oyster, and mine may be a clam, but I like it that we lay on the same ocean floor.

Sincerely,
~PT

Many doubt the value of the friendships that can be made here....

I hope these words go a long way to dispel those feelings....

Thank you....

You are highly intelligent, articulate, talented and, most of all, I appreciate your loyalty.

We all have ego which defines our self-worth, as long as it doesn't get out of control. You stated your views quite well. It is very important to treat people well, especially your friends, and to be kind and loyal to them.

Thank you for including me in your journey.

thank you.

Thank you

Nice and meaningful thoughts..

Thank you for the link.

I believe this....

PT,

The world is a better place because you are in it!

My Lord . You are incredibly talented, soulful & loving.

((((Pansytilly))))
I adore you,and Thank you so much for being my friend .
The things you have written in this thread are heartbreakingly beautiful.

I�ve been thinking a lot about it too, Pansy. Through every person I met in my life I learnt a bit, or a bit more, about myself, about who I really am, no matter what others think, no matter what I think. And many times I found myself laughing on my own account with the thought: Oh you silly, touch the ground. But also: You underestimate yourself.

Deep, true look at ourselves can be hard, sometimes scary, but is so liberating. As a matter of fact for me also humorous, lol. When we accept ourselves as we truly are, we can let go every pretending, every mask, they don�t serve anymore. We don�t have to suit others but can fully respect and accept their way.

People encourage us, provoke us, enrich us, change our horizons and we grow.

Thank you for being one of these people, my friend, with all your qualities that shine in all coulors of rainbow

what a wonderful post and so true, we met people and form bonds in so many places as long as we keep the avenues open...

So many things were so glaringly true thank you so much for the nice wake up link this am.

Great job...
