Remembering Joy

Member since 2001 · Posted 16 Mar 2002 · 5 comments

it was darkness, and then joy as hope entwined my soul it was the dawning, remembering my mind, stretching oh, yes, I have one - a mind and thoughts to think with it words to spill from it like sweet fire, running from my fingertips I, the creative joy.

Isn't it a little eyes to just throw together random words? There were a couple things that matched up however; "sweet fire" wouldn't have thought about its taste before. good one.

"oh, yes, I have one-/ a mind" just destroys this piece.

I really love this: especially "oh, yea, I have one - a mind and thoughts to think with it"
