8471, Eternity's Half-Life A CollaboPoem by Boon and Anita J Posted by Boon_Quadroon, Thu Jun-20-02 07:54 AM
We worked on a Free write poem together on Tuesday, hope y'all dig it. "Hey Anita, thanks for helping me break my drought" (Boon)
Life is full of collaborations. Toes and fingers work together for the common good, and aid the mover, the shaker. A butterfly has two wings, two antennae and two forms ( before and after metamorphosis).
I am not who I used to be Not who I strive to be but on my journey, I've had help along the way.
I was born of a collaboration, between two forms filled with Love, and Hope, and purpose, and identities that existed long before I dubbed them Mommy and Daddy.
(Anita)
Possibilities descend upon our skies like tempest clouds before rainstorms appear to wash away yesterday's woes.
We stretch our hands to the downpour and are strenghtened by Maya's tears.
I sing a song of oneness in my dreams beyond this world's barriers and multitude of limitations. In my dreams, we all can smile and be happy, loving one another.
(Boon)
In these dreams, nature provides the soundtrack as I splash through future's promise filled puddles. I cup my hands and dip them deep into Maya's left-over tears. I drink deep- never wanting to wake from this dream of washed away yesterdays
Please don't shake my shoulder and disturb me. Cause tonight's dream is so much more pleasing than the reality I awake to.
(Anita J)
though my wishes remain the same, still i arise every morning to the same adversities. So I 've learned to change my perception of the reality I exist
within presently to see that life is what you make of it, now you choose to percieve and recieve it up to a degree, up to an extent, there isn't
anyone who could make you unfree because no one could steal your spiritual soul away from yourself, your physical body.
(Boon)
And when I depart from this shell, this body... Someone sing a song for my soul.
Make it loud and long so it lasts till eternity, that's how long I'll be gone.
Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought.

WOW!
Here are my favorite stanzas from the two of you.
>(Boon) > >In these dreams, nature provides >the soundtrack as I splash through >future's promise filled puddles. >I cup my hands and dip them deep >into Maya's left-over tears. >I drink deep- never wanting to wake >from this dream of washed away yesterdays > >Please don't shake my shoulder >and disturb me. Cause tonight's dream >is so much more >pleasing than the reality >I awake to.
> >(Anita J) > >though my wishes remain the same, >still i arise every morning to the same >adversities. So I 've learned to change >my perception of the reality I exist > >within presently to see that life is >what you make of it, now you choose >to percieve and recieve it up to a >degree, up to an extent, there isn't > >anyone who could make you unfree >because no one could steal your >spiritual soul away from yourself, >your physical body.
