Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Poems

Letters to people telling them our truth

giving them imagery, our proof.

Doorways that never shut into places we have never seen

emotional content that never relents or let us know

What it means to be human.

Snapshots into daily life

Dreams past and present of how we can change the lives we lead

and how we got there the struggles that made us sweat and bleed

and sometimes smile.

A file documented in a book or on a computer

for people to interpret in so many ways

our history written in so many ways down the ages

our inheritance that we will want to preserve

our learning curve for generation to come

the history of us all the struggle to become one.

◄ The chalice of life

love and lust ►

Enjoyed reading this Daniel...

I agree with Marianne - love these lines:
'Doorways that never shut into places we have never seen
emotional content that never relents or let us know
What it means to be human.'

And... I love this line too:
'Dreams past and present of how we can change the lives we lead'

what was the inspiration behind this? ;-)
I think we can all relate to this using this site - it's like not being able to unscrew the jam jar to get a better look at the firefly inside.
Really like the line:
"Doorways that never shut into places we have never seen
emotional content that never relents or lets us know
what it means to be human"
Well done!
Thanks for the comments!
