I wander through the sky
grass lapping at my toes
feel the pulse of the air.
I hear drums calling me home
Many drums calling me home
my home, your home, Mother home.
Cacophony of silence for those who cannot listen.
So many drums calling so many soldiers
Lovers. Daughters. Fathers. Home.
Do they call you?
My future whispers inside me
a silent descant to my own pounding rhythm.
The ocean roars within my body
I bathe in the sea of my soul.
Cleanse yourself in me.
Let me taste your waters
refreshing and cool on my lips.
Let my rhythm call you home.
Let your pulse guide me.

Is that a song? Why do I think I have read/heard that before?

[second-banana.livejournal.com]

It has a lot of universal themes in it. But it's all me.

[newbieblueberry.livejournal.com]

Its really good. Me wants more to read.

Oh..and Gibby says it was cool you took place in the DOS. She also thanked you for the comment about her new ring.

*mumbles 'My Precious' as that what her old ring looked like*

That is beautiful.

I did get your email...thank you incredibly for that email...it actually didn't make me cry...well, it almost did...I think...anyhoo, next time you're on be sure to IM me because there's some stuff I want to talk with you about. *muah!*

Thank you.

You rock my toe socks. Or you would. If I possessed toe socks.

*makes a note to get susan toe socks*

[newbieblueberry.livejournal.com]

*has toe socks, which have a little duck on the ankle, which also are uber striped in bright colors, which Gibby gave me as part 1 of a stage manager gift*

And I have always wondered how Sussie can make her picture different on each reply....

wazzat?

[second-banana.livejournal.com]

That would be what I was doing in class instead of taking notes.

[elvensorceress.livejournal.com]

writing that? or finding that?

[second-banana.livejournal.com]

Writing. I've never done something that intentionally free formed before.

*smooches*
Was beautiful.

[piperbelle.livejournal.com]

That was beautiful. Really bittersweet in a way. It made me imagine my grandfather returning home from the war. *sigh*

Thanks for sharing.

*hugs*
