The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Recommended Posts

I've been filled with rage

So I made myself gentle.

 

I've been filled with greed

So I learned to give it all away.

 

I've been filled with lusts

So I learned to feel hearts.

 

I've been filled with pain

So I learned to heal others.

 

I've been filled with Self

So I chose to be Other.

But i dunno theres just so much you can do for other people! Some times they will never appriaciate the things you do for them! But i want u to know that i do! Every piece od advice u ever gave me i have taken and look at me im now a happy person!

Learning is one of the greatest things we have the ability to do, actually doing it shows the mark of true strength. Sometimes it's very hard to admit our own faults, even harder to change them, but it's the person content in their heart that can see beyond the mirror. Well written!

i saw myself and was displeased

i saw far off what i wished to be

through the vastness of the space between

through the multitude of tiny steps

through all the times i lose my way and fall

i still see you

hand outstretched to help me back on my way

your encouragement that it will work out okay

your unswerving belief that i AM okay

and that i can be better

i still see you

showing me what can be done

showing me the paths from which to choose

and which will lead me far astray

showing me how to be me

i still see you

thank you

This life is full, of hidden choices. You were wise and patient enough to listen and find them. You are obviously a person with much life experience. Anyone who reads your work can tell that you have something special inside.

 

Sometimes the very hardest task IS to look beyond yourself and, give. That just cant be sincere AND faked...

Some thing about this makes me wonder how much has been lost in between the extremes. *hugs*

Rune, that was beautiful. I watched it 4 times and cried like a little baby. I am sure that it touches so many hearts. Just as Peredhil does.

Wow! Beautiful poem Parmenion. I loved your interpretation of it Rune. Ayshela, I've never seen a more fitting response. You're all very talented. I strive to follow in your footsteps.

Thank you Rune!

 

I'd never have thought to match those pictures to the poem, nor had the talent to do so. You definitely have a knack for turning lemons into lemonade.

 

looks at Kalypso and winks. Yup, that Parmenion *is* a talented fellow! :P

The collabration was amazing. I was taken by the balance of the two extremes. The duality is there in all of us. Some will find the courage to seek their potential. Thank you again Peredhil and also to you Rune.

I'm sorry Peredhil, that was a big oopsie. I was a little tired when I wrote that. Had one name in my mind and typed another...didn't know fingers had a mind of their own did you? Of course you know that comment was meant for you.

 

*grins sheepishly*

Posted

heh, I *live* tired lately.

 

That's why the wink. It was meant as gentle fun teasing, as between friends, or people who want to be friends. :)

 

Hugs

 

I recently got four hours of sleep - I recommend it. ;)

I took your advise Peredhil, it worked wonders! Always easier said than done. I'm sure you all have had a hard time quieting an over zealous mind!

 

 

Thank you for the understanding , and I look forward to forming friendships with all of you. Such a wonderful group you have here.

 

*hugs everyone*

:D:D

 

That's a wonderful poem Peredhil! I was very taken. Stopped by for a bit of reading before I got to my homework, and was very glad I did! It was a real treat. Message and mood, really stirred memoires. Splendid.

 

And.............. the present from Rune! What can be said but:

 

:woot:

 

That's great Rune. Those images, especially with the music, complemented the poem beautifully. I've saved the link and am going to pass it on to a few friends of mine. :D

 

The Pen is soooooooo cool. *hugs*
