Online friends...

There's a land where I go, when I need to share,That's not on a map, yet exists everywhere;Lots of names without faces, a curious place,A virtual creation that's called — cyberspace.There are all sorts of people with cute little handles,Like Jasmine and Sandman and Rosebud and Jangles;Some can be snobs, though most are great fun,And some of them just want to talk with someone.Both good and bad, they all play a role,And each one's unique, but part of the whole;We chat and we laugh and often we sigh,We 'hug' and sometimes we cry.We can't be heard and we can't be seen,Still we can 'talk' right there on that screen;But, all in all, the most curious partIs the power this has to open our hearts.We share with a stranger stuff we've concealedFrom our closest of friends , things we never reveal !Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears,The scars in our life which bring us to tears.What gives them the power to reach into meAnd show me the truths that I never see ?How do they manage to open my eyesAnd make me confess the pain and the lies?This must have been planned by Spirit above,Few places on earth can bring so much love;When I need some direction I know I can findThose angels from heaven just waiting online.~Author Unknown (Adaptation)

  • what a nice poem Manuela
    Tell me how you composed this prodigy? 4xvim2p.gif
    Could you expose the secrets behind the phrase "cute little handles" in the miraculous poem above?
    I specially like this part of your poem (wink)
    We share with a stranger stuff we've concealed
    From our closest of friends , things we never reveal !


    With sublime gushes of beatitude for the forthcoming new year

  • Dear Tarik,
    Oh yes, i have wonderful friends in real life, some live far other live near by. Most of them have been my friends since i was a little kid. I am a faithful one, no matter the years, or the distance that keeps us apart.
    Thanks for your comment and for your pertinent question. I knew someone would ask it to me.

  • Great poem ...
    Thanks a million times my dear angel,Manuela....
    Yeah ,online friends are a bit strange and it is as if they are gifts or angels sent by someone above all -as said in the poem...
    I have learned a lot of facts following the traces of my online parts of soul...all spread in the air ...on air floating to be just caught ...
    Thanks for sharing the nice poem ....
    Have a great time ,my pal...

  • Hello Salim,
    Yes, i do enjoy to come online and to communicate with my online friends. Some of them live far from me and as we can not meet eachtohers more than 4-5 times a year, internet is a very precious tool for us. I also enjoy to have some EC friends with who we can share ideas and I hope to meet them in the futur. Thought my list of contacts here is long, i can only consider a few of them as my real friends. The ones who really care to share time and other things than 'hello how are you". It takes time and words to built a true friendship :))
    Thank you for checking my blog Salim, i always enjoy your comments and your posts.

    Whishing you all the best for the coming year.
    Manuela
