I close my eyes and drift
---Anonymous
away from the perils and dangers of life
---Anonymous
away from my country
---Anonymous
my pride and heritage
---Anonymous
now red from the blood of innocence
---Anonymous
away from the dark shadow looming over my head
---Anonymous
a dark shadow I did not have control of
---Anonymous
I am innocent
---Anonymous
my leader is also called the face of evil
---Anonymous
my country is not at peace
---Anonymous
but life goes on
---Anonymous
or it did until the dark shadow descended
---Anonymous
messengers of death looming in the open sky
---Anonymous
shouting end to life from the air to the earth
---Anonymous
peace or violence
---Anonymous
"we" can choose
---Anonymous
I close my eyes and drift
---Anonymous
away from the world
---Anonymous
to a place where happiness lives eternally
---Anonymous
my voice is heard
---Anonymous
and my life is valued
---Anonymous
my eyes close terrified and unhappy
---Anonymous
but wrapped in a blanket of security
---Anonymous
I am away from Kosovo
---Anonymous
and life WILL go on
---Anonymous
and I can now take my long awaited rest
---Anonymous
my vision is blurred
---Anonymous
this is not the sleep I am accostumed to
---Anonymous
my heart is slowing
---Anonymous
my final breath is near
---Anonymous
my life was a victom of hatred and war
---Anonymous
but I am away from Kosovo
---Anonymous
life for me is just beggining
---Anonymous
life will go...
---Anonymous
thump.

I think a lot of these poems don't get commented on because you just can't top them. This is really moving but how can I synopsise/review/criticize. It's like writing about the death of a loved one. You just have to tell the story. This is very sincere. ~Cooker

Agreed. Brings it all home. Thanks so much for posting.~nr

thanks for your comments. I agree, many people don't seem to comment because they're so emotional. Somehow I think it helps to see things from other's perspectives. Thanks again for your comments. *catie*
