It`s like a ghost town over there now.

I think maybe my old page is haunted or there`s squatters living there. I could have sworn I heard some strange noises. Felt like I was being watched. Oooooo, Creepy.) [bodytext] =>
LIFEBOATS

Bobbing on the water,
far out on a sea,
countless little lifeboats
each moving separately.

In each little lifeboat,
sits a different soul.
Staying on the surface,
seems the common goal.

A few little lifeboats,
are rowing very fast.
Must want a patch of ocean,
or they don`t like being passed.

Some lifeboats are sinking.
Nothing anyone can do.
Only one per boat.
When they`re sunk, they`re through.

One boat is slowing down.
There`s hardly any motion.
Just a soul contemplating,
what`s it doing on the ocean.

haven't seen you on here in a while, so I thought I would drop in and read some of the old, but good stuff.
