And Meaningful -Emalee Arden
When I was lonely
When there wasn't anyone
And it was bad

These meaningful
I wanted you there
It wasn't time
Because I was so scared

Words meaningful
Emptiness in the light
In the dark still empty
My hearts dark, eyes light

Are meaningful
To challenge this
Do you? Do I?
Can we try...for more?

AND THESE WORDS
ARE MEANINGFUL
Silent Planet -Michael Sloan
What grasp you, silent planet?
I thought there was silence here?
Ricocheting off of telephone polls
Ringing back and forth
To pick this right up where there was nothing
Or perhaps an empty expectation?
What you thought you may have seen
Or what you are, or are starting to notice
Back when there was music here,
Before the static took over
Looking sleepily into a distant dream
I myself begin to notice
How hazy this world has become
How more and more can hardly grasp
What this is that we are doing
Hardly a shape that we can’t make
With these lines coming into focus
Back one way and into another

Whatever happened to ONE tribe?
What in this world are we pursuing?
With all these buffers between us
And what we are experiencing
Have we forsaken the touch that has brought us here in the first place?
The intimacy in the truly sensual experience
What, am I too blind to see?

The movement of particles that sends spine tingles.  
The elasticity of energy. 
 Where we put ourselves, and where we decide to be. 
 Feeling this intense vibration and how it relates you to me. 
 A passing of hands to the swiftest of beats. 
 Knowledge of what it is we truly seek,
 to become fruitful in Life’s garden or move and fade like shadows in space.          Learning to speak once more, to accept what they teach.  
 How they allow us to manipulate, with the bills and laws we are left to debate.  How well off are we, left here to insolate? 
Which direction should we go now?  
What meaning should we give this?
Who do we look for sense of guidance? 
Why do we look?
And how will we ever know for sure???

I am sure we will get a feeling
I am sure there will be a tone
A sense of peace and understanding
A sense of never being left alone

This echo, reverberating
Back to us from our truest home
Melodic mayhem mingling mind with body
And gently sprinkling over the essence of spirit
Entrancing all with the breath of escape
The movement of our energies embraced
To expand into the emotion that we create
BEING. 
Tell Me -Micaela Gasper
They tell me to write
To get out of the house
Do something with my time
Because I should have so much to write about
I should have so much to say

They tell me to prophesy
Unleash that secret I've been hiding
So we can all drink the wisdom
So we can all taste the gossip
Coming up from the sidewalks
Of our city

They tell me to be happy
To smile with that signature mouth
And pretend like I don't have bad days
Pretend like I don't require someone else's shirt
To cry on every now and then

They tell me I'm not the same
Because, before I was this, I was someone else
Before I was this, I was something else
And I should change back
Or go forward
Cause where I am is becoming
Too uncomfortable for you

They tell me to go back to school
More knowledge will do you good
And when you get out, you'll be different
When you get out, you'll be better
More in tune with the world

You know, they tell me to keep going
To just stay moving
As to somehow emply that I'm stagnent
As to somehow emply that I've stopped moving
Without any awareness of this event
And I can't help but wonder
Why all of these opinions are present
All seeming to have feet that walk my way
And you know, it's my own fault
That I just can't ignore
What they tell me
Poison Butterfly -Blissfulviolet
She is the way
towards the violet light
She is what is dark
Eyes of gray
A color to mourn
My poison butterfly
crying for eternity
This is Eden without trees
Do not fear this precious thing
for tonight we roam
Controversy -Truman Adams
controversy conflicting verse of we the peopling planet i.e. me no wrong
no right just individual sight to see all degrees from friendship to
enemies light to dark I am all this and the conflict is with myself we
live in a world of opposites opposing for prosing sake dosing then wake
up to find no separation pieces meant to fit together like the wing's
separate feather
Inspiration (exerpt) -Daniel Miller
Will the soap in the dispenser cleanse
	The dirt on my soul before my sins
	Develop its own ego

I write so I don’t have to speak. 
An Interesting Predicament -Noland Zuck
Tearing through the paper thin walls of a sickness,
To combat an existance,
System so wreakless,
So check this,
An interesting predicament,
Climb in and get sick in it,
Then try to live with it,
There come a point when there's no forgiving it,
Or forgetting it,
How many?,
Pinching pennies,
When there are so many with too many,
You sleep wrapped in satin sheets,
While some search for a comfortable spot in the streets,
Digging in the trash to find something to eat,
When a dollar in change feels like your ships come in,
The outlook is grim,
You can't help but notice the mess we're in. 
Bloody Hands -Blissfulviolet
Bloody hands strain
what I can not feel
creation gone
quest fulfilled
In this darkness
 I bury my eyes
where my salvation died
I've always searched beyond the veil
a tainted path
my soul turns ill
 ghost swarm
corpse rise
In desolation they cry
These evil spirits are griping at my spine
They try to infest this mortal mind
In the end im not sorry
this fate conceals my reign in fire  
Ancient Mirror -Michael Sloan
Leaves turning to the east
As the mist begins to speak
Awakening, eyes wide
There are friends here
Knowing more with each breath
Pushing further
Moving closer
Stepping tentatively
Through new morning breeze
As spirits sing
Swelling gratitude
Soothing attitude
Mesmerizing every being
With a silent pull beyond eyes
Reconciling
Delivering
Skipping stones on water
All life to water
Fish from water
Water to waves

While the depth of the well is forgotten,
and the ground begins to dismay.
No where to swim, or fly to
continue on into
Another dimension?
Or dive deeper into the mind
Whenever it is
That we meet again
       May only be truly inside.  .  .
Different -Sharon Fitzpatrick
                Different---
What does the word mean?
If you stand out
Or make a scene,
You’re shunned
By society,
You’re the subject 
Of their cruelty.
The way I see it,
It’s courage
To show your own person
To sing your message
To take pride in being special
