April 10, 2007- Tuesday

I'm going to see Beyonce in concert tonight at the Tokyo Dome. I'm sooo excited....anyway, last night I felt like writing so, I tried to finish the poem I started a long time ago...that poem called UNSPOKEN....I'm not sure if it's done, but I've added to it...so here are the additions along with the original beginning:
UNSPOKEN
I love it when a friend hears your heart and not your words,
It's when the distance seems like an eternity away,
yet verbal communication is not needed because...they get you.
I love it when the pain of the present and the tears in the pillow
are drowned out by the still quietness,
the sound of silent peace that penetrates the soul and spirit.
I love it when I think of God's goodness, and how much He loves me in spite of me.
The words to describe the joy that fills my heart are indescribable,
UNSPOKEN
Have you ever had missed opportunities that you couldn't share with others?
You just hope and pray that they come back around as life tends to repeat itself.
You envision how it will be different.....................this time,
because you've healed and are more comfortable in your own skin;
willing to take chances not just in some things but in all things,
because after all, God has your back....
You don't share this with others because sometimes you have to guard your heart
It's just left........
UNSPOKEN
