Last night I missed you as I watched the sunset,
Blood red in the burning sienna sky,
And watched it slowly sink behind the gorse gashed moors,
Loss clawed at me tearing and tight,
Until tears pressed from the eyes that had been so dry, bitter and scalding.I remember walking with you here in happier times,
When life seemed so endless,
And death was just a wicked tease, sent to disrupt our contentment,
That we placed firm behind us and did not turn to see,
Maybe we didn’t dare…
We climbed the hills one balmy summers day,
And looked down on the world at our feet,
Feeling like giants as ants crawled below,
We were proud, we were happy, our smiles reflected in each others eyes.
Gone now till we meet again, someday, sometime, somewhere.
But even as I mourned the moon rose high, helping me to see,
A gentle mellow light soothing and softening the jagged edge of grief,
And in its fullness I saw your face, watching over me,
And in a sighing breeze that dried the tears,
I heard the wind whisper your words.
“Still here, though not here, still with you my dear”,
And as I saw its reflection in the mirroring lake, all became clear,
We are still somehow together as long as you are in my heart.

April 2nd, 2008 at 2:22 amVery very interesting!
which marathon are you running in August?
I never believed the stuff on global warming either. It was sort of ironic, because once I asked my atheist friend about it, like what his thoughts were, and he was like “what do you mean? its a proven fact.” and well…its obviously not. (and now we’re going into cooling or supposedly like you said) and I thought it was SO ironic how easily it was for my atheist friend to believe in global warming as being proven truth, when it wasn’t, than to believe in God, which christians let everyone know that its not going to be proven, its going to take faith. i just thought of that randomly. would humans rather trust in someone saying something has been proven, like global warming and evolution, than to believe the things that people honestly let you know aren’t proven? crazy…what a strange world we live in.
ok ill stop ranting now i guess

April 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pmahhh that makes it clearer.
I really liked how you said it was cocky atheists in that one comment, cause I realized that exactly how it is described…cause, you’re an atheist, but you are not disrespectful to my beliefs or anything, you aren’t even trying to pick a fight, but sometimes I will just run into atheists who disrespect my beliefs without warning and then try to pick religious fights because they juts want to win them so bad…I don’t get it. I don’t preach about my religion, so don’t preach about yours. The only time I ever will talk to someone about my beliefs is if its just like an interested discussion, when we are both interested in each others beliefs, but not out to win or get the other person to change or whatever. I can’t stand that. Sometimes I feel like so many of these cocky atheists are spending their time blaming christians for preaching them down and disrespecting their beliefs, when it’s really just them doing it and blaming us for an excuse. I just can’t stand it anymore!
That post was SO nice to write, because I felt like I was just on the verge of some breakdown because so many of my pet peeves have been breached recently and I needed to just get it out right. I don’t know if it came out very right, cause I know some of my comments might have been offensive…
Like smoking…today already! So I am walking in to class, and there is two sidewalks and I am walking on one, and the girl across on the other (its like 10 feet away running parallel to the one I was on) and she pulls out a cig and at first I think “Thank God she is on that sidewalk so I don’t have to smell it…” but then…THE WIND picks up…and I couldn’t ESCAPE it! I tried walking faster or slower and no matter what I did, the cig smoke kept hitting me! And the sidewalk is through the whole parking lot, and if you know what college parking is like, that means it’s like half mile long….I just feel like, if people’s decisions don’t affect other people negatively, then I won’t have any problem with it. But smoking has been just one of those problems I am starting to feel like there is no where and no way I can no longer escape the wrath of cigarettes in even just ONE day now!!!
hahahaha I keep complaining! I’m sorry. I found it pretty funny though that my pet peeve was complaining and I thought about it and then was like…hey…that’s ok…at least being a hypocrite is not a pet peeve! (OOPS!) lol!
So I know this is oober long (oh well). So you do a marathon in India? that’s gotta be so awesome. I bet its really pretty there…how do tohse marathons differ from american ones?
by the way you have very beautiful writing

April 4th, 2008 at 12:11 ami promise you that i would never miss you for a moment,
neither would those tears make me feel sombre,
never would those memoirs be able to go sashaying away that old photograph ,
never would those sunsets eke out those rainbow coluored lines on those mountains where wee used to make hays,
nor would any of moonshine bring out anything out but calmness and fun,
becoz every moment spent with you was nothing but a cherished monsoon in the sun,
and i would try everything in the world not to inundate those cheirished monsoons with thunderstoms today when in the past there were none
(insipired by ur write up)
