Name:

Sarebear_001 aka. Sarah Fugman


Born:

July 30, 1982 in Northeast Ohio


Writing:

As long as I can remember. When I first learned to scroll - first grade - my teacher had us writing short stories and such then. My aunt gave me a sheet of paper, and I said matter-of-factly, i could write about anything. So I took a bite of a strawberry and described it. I have always loved writing.


If I was unable to write:

I'd keep reading, and perhaps become a storyteller, despite my terrible ability to read my own poetry outloud.


Favorite food:

Any and all varieties of potato, ribs, and crab legs.


Least favorite food:

Everything on a reuben sandwich - corned beef, sour kraut, rye bread, and 1,000 island dressing.


What about Spam�?:

That also!


Enjoy:

Watching sunsets with my boyfriend. Whether it be out on Lake Erie boating, bike riding, hiking, relaxing in a park or on the deck, it is all the same. I love to read and of course, to write. And I'm addicted to this machine in front of me (computer).


Music picks:

I am a pretty well rounded listener; however, I have a special place in my heart for Country and Contemporary Christian music. Some of the more modern stuff on the radio is good as well.


I describe my poetry as:

Rollercoasters, like my own emotions. From day to day, it changes, going from high thrilling experiences to sudden drops into self-analysis and other analysis.


When i'm bored, I:

Pick my nose. not really. haha okay, ummm, when I'm bored, I read, or sleep, or stare at the computer screen for a few hours. Sometimes I clean when I'm bored. It's habitual.


My greatest fear is:

Being alone. without God, without Eric (my boyfriend), without my Mom, without my friends. Completely alone. I can handle alone with God, but not alone without God. That would be Hell.


The one person I'd like to have dinner with:

C.S. Lewis. I love his thoughts and ability to put things so clearly into words.


Later today I will:

I might go to the beach with my family, and then I'm going to a Ceramics class with Eric's sisters and mom. A nice day I think.

When I Die, I'll Choose To Sail The Night

Time






When I Die, I'll Choose To Sail The Night
April 18, 2000




When I die, I�ll choose to sail the night
I�ll maneuver through waves of dreams
On moonlit eves, I�ll row the hours away
Gliding my ship over bright starlit streams.


Gently I�ll caress the sea of darkness
With swooping oars made of strong sturdy oak
I�ll splash the earth with sparkling dewdrops
My sail will be the land�s cloak.


Orion will wink and Leo will roar
The Northern Star will leave me blind
But still I will paddle my rickety craft
Leaving a trail of stardust behind.


Throughout the night I will travel onward
An oil lamp and conscious to guide me
As one of God�s travelers, I�ll row towards the Light
With the Captain and First Mate beside me.


The salty sea-breeze and cool windy nights
Will entice me on with an air of certainty
Standing with eyes shut in the bow of my boat
I�ll sail on into Eternity.

Time
April 18, 2000

Time is valuable.
Not in the way it steadily ticks
But the way an uncontrollable wind-up clock slowly
������� Creaks to a stop
������� And when rewound,�
������� Makes the seconds rush by at twice the normal speed of
Time.


Time is valuable.
Not in the way it swallows up the minutes
Restless minutes spent waiting impatiently
Impatiently waiting for some decree
Some unimaginable second-coming
Some indescribeable expectation
An expectation that may never arrive
Or only arrive in�
Time.


Time is valuable.
The way it offers you an opportunity
Seconds before your inevitable forfeit.
Hands you a pulsating creature
Just when you thought there could be no more life.
Paints a sunset over the steady tide
Right before the ocean swallows your dreams.
Blesses your heart with a miracle
Just when you were about to lose all faith.


Time is not something we live in.
Time is a breathing echo
�������� Both of the past
�������� And the future.
Time is the mode by which we receive love
�������� And wisdom
�������� And color
�������� And light
�������� And life.
Time is the inevitable guiding hand
Time is the ever-present
Time blossoms endlessly
Time withers away only when the spirit has died
������� When no one stops to rewind the clock
������� When nothing stops to glance backwards
������� Or look sideways


Time blinks with the glance of an eye
Time wrinkles in the mirror of old age
Time upons in the once in a far away
Time outs in the game of Life
Time is about in the world of it
Time drinks tea in the luxury of peace
Time marches to the beat of �on�
Time intoxicates those who ride its wave
Time wounds all it once healed
Time tells what will
Time flies on the breeze of spring
Time tills to the end�
Time.
