I lay down in a wooden bed
No beddings, no pillow, just wood.
I can’t see light above me
I can’t breathe, I can’t move
I can’t do anything but,
I can feel people crying above me
I can feel their tears.
Dropping one by one on the ground their loneliness and fears.
Flowers thrown on my face as I go down…
Down in the ground
Down to a new place
Down to somewhere everyone’s going to be at one day.
Prayers are made.
Wishes are wished.
And goodbyes are goodbyes.

hehehe, I finally found you ellen! and might I say, your work is excellent ^^ as for mine... *sigh* >.> I still need work...I need to regain my writing skills but as I can see you have talent. I didn't even know you had a novel or story that you were working on. It's pretty good ^^

Hey, we should start a forum for Guam Writers! O.O It be like a get together for aspiring authors and poets alike and we can give tips to one another ^^ How does that sound? It's just an idea...
