If anyone's in need of an actor to play a young Bono... Someone recently suggested Elijah Wood, but my vote's on Gregory... I don't think it's just me!

Hope you like it. SONG OF AFRICA A western star shines toward Africa, Illuminating death upon the horizon. Faces turn and are blinded by both Tragedy and Spirit. Children dance among their ancestors, Pounding their feet, So the living might hear their voices. They lift their arms, Their...

I was just curious about what denomination's (or non-denominations) are represented among Christians here. Have you been part of one all of your life, or have you chosen a church for other reasons. I was raised United Methodist and still attend that church, more because that's where my other...

I posted this question when we were all one, but not the same, but now I'm posting it again. Are there U2 fans here that live in Houston? It is likely (not yet definite, though) that I may be moving there, and I'd like to hear your thoughts or advice about this city. I'm from PA and have...

Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere else, but are there clips of the U2 Grammy stuff posted somewhere? If so, could you direct me to them. I wasn't able to tape or watch them Thanks a bunch! ------------------ Still looking for the face I had before the world was made...

I heard opera in my head Headlights glaring through sheets of rain Rain collecting in her eyes Eyes that see no pain, only colors Colors to keep the night away Away from what she knows is right Right through to the other side Side-step the inevitable Inevitable that it should come to this This...

I'm just curious cause my hubby's up for a job there and I'd like to know a little about the area. thanks

I've got to get out before I misplace myself In this closet of old skeletons - well, Perhaps they're old skins that I thought I'd shed for good. I wear them Even though they're not a fit - Guess my mother still dresses me. I want to be comfortable in the skin I'm in... Somehow this box seems...

We're assured that God never gives us more than we can take. There is a young woman out there who wondered if it was true. Sometimes I wonder, too. Buried under all that's been thrown at you Slowly you're unearthed Offered a hand But you hold your breath, close your eyes, And sinking, give up...

I'm sorry before I say it, But I watch it spill out on the floor. With anyone else it's easy, We drag obstacles onto the path. My worst seems the best i can do Around you. And we hurt each other, Then we do it again. Love keeps us coming back for more, Reaching out for understanding. You can't...

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I haven't been around much over the last month or so. I've been very busy as the school year is ending. I don't know if you missed me at all, but I missed you. Hello to some of the new faces in here. I've been trying to catch up on some of your...

If "daddy" was a word I knew I'd pin it on you I could use the extra guidance When I fall off the fence But I admire you from a distance I think there's some chance I might make you proud of me But I worry that would change if you could see inside me I doubt I could be everything you want me...

You're somewhere in the room I can't see in the darkness I hold on to what I think I know It's all I've got to go on You let go of everything, you know When you stopped searching for me And I grope around with hope And you stand still in silence Waiting for me to find you or just not realizing...

I've been away for the week and enjoyed reading everyone's poetry. I don't have anything recent to share but I came across this one, which I wrote in high school. It sounds a bit naive to me now and I cringe at some of the writing, but I read it and something about it still rings true. I...

The lights are brighter up here on the mountain Everything faster, the neon colors more vibrant Intoxicated by overstimulation, virtual contamination Each fulfilled disire one step closer to the next fixation Consume - Devour - Bigger - Better - More Appetites unsatisfied could feed the starving...

I haven't had much time to myself lately, and I've felt very unsure of what I'm accomplishing as a teacher. Anyway, I always seem to work things out late at night when I should be in bed. At 2:30 not everything is coherent but things seem more clear. This is what spewed out on the page after...

This is one of my favorites that you've written. There is so much in this poem. It's not long but I find something new in each phrase every time I read it. ------------------ **Still looking for the face I had before the world was made....** **Work like you don't need money, love like...

Desperate lives Changing skies Look for the truth behind the lies Sunlight dies Despite the cries Lift up the ignorant and chastise the wise How many tries Till we realize If there's a will there's a way to capitalize I didn't see myself until I saw it in your eyes ------------------ **Still...

Step lightly when you walk on me Because I'm not ready for the hurt I never quite learned how to sleep on my stomach, Instead I lie patiently with my underbelly exposed, Waiting for the inevitable crush When the sole of your boot slowly presses the air from my lungs. I hope I gave you the...

Your spirit echoes in my soul, Reverberating in the emptiness that you left, When like a shooting star, You escaped this life, Before I had you in my grasp. Before I could grasp all that you were, And all that you meant to me. Some perhaps were meant to be, Shooting Stars. To leave behind a...

Hey, guys! So many great poems to read and not enough time to read them all! Grrrr. I guess that's what I get for being a busy bee. Anyway, here's something of mine.... Spinning wheels, going nowhere I sink further in the mud I don't know where I thought I was going but I didn't plan this...

I know what I believe. That my God reached out His arms for ALL. His death is why I live. And why I'll stand for truth and justice above all. Now you may not understand my reasoning, But I don't care as long as you have your own. Because it's then that we can stand together. In our fight we...

Boy in Men?s Clothing You say that I don?t know you But how can I when you?ve locked the doors and windows tight, And you?ve pulled the shades down low? I only know what I can see on the outside, From beyond the high stone wall. And what I see is a boy in men?s clothing. Allowing only the...

hee hee - otherwise known as central PA. I live right in the middle of the state and was wondering if there are others of you out there. And if you are out there do you know U2 have a rumoured performance at the Penn State Bryce Jordan Center? And, if you already knew THAT are you going...

You creep in like daylight through a broken window, punching holes in the darkness. But in your wake shadows linger, making my steps uncertain. And so we dance across the floor. You lead - out of step, out of time, and I stumble over words. We scatter dust from once forgotten relics that had...
