Life: Live it-Love it!

« on: April 20, 2007, 09:36:59 PM »

I can't wait for the alarm clock - my eyes fly open and I lie still in the pre-dawn darkness. The cat gets petted and fed and I shred some chicken for my very old, deaf, blind dog. Still frisky and demanding after all her years. In the kitchen, I watch the sunrise as I sip my coffee. The buildings block the sun, but I watch the sky change from black velvet, to shades of orange, rose, mauve, shades of grey and then yellow gold. I light some inscence and inhale the sweet smell. I sit by my window and feel the fresh breeze and make index cards for some Chinese text that I have to memorize. I then set my cellphone's alarm, and snooze for a half hour. In the shower I briefly contemplate what I want to use - the Dove soap, or the shower gel? Which shower gel? Tangerine, basil and lime, warm vanilla sugar, lemon or gardenia? Gardenia it is.

Right on Purple....that's poetic...
 Check out my poem...Purple..tell me what u think :-\
All about time
Down the road of a life time do i stroll.
A life time not known how it'd roll.
Never thought of gaining something,
Never thought of winning,
Never thought of trying,
That's why i never achieve,
Can i run?
Can i walk?
Can i succeed?
Oh...all about Time.

When i sit back and watch,
Sit back and think about life's expectations,
Life's trials and temptations,
i never think of making it.
Though i try to achieve my goals,
Like a baby who's learning how to stand,
Should i quit tryn'?
Should i just depend on my mum's back?
I stand and fall,that makes my feet stronger.
Oh....all about time.

That's very nice Promo.  8)  I can see that being done to a hip hop beat. One comment - try deleting the "do" in the 1st line, you may find that you don't need it.  :)
