         the tide of hours

As love and life are forever
   swept away
with the tide of fragile hours
leaving us but wandering shades
within a mirage from some
half-remembered dream,
one can only hope that even
our very smallest of kindnesses
left behind are somehow,
somewhere painted large
in the sketchbook of eternity.

I deeply enjoyed this, it is a gem, dear Bruce.

Beautiful thoughts around the meaning of existence. Knowing the value of kindnesses will induce us to multiply them.

I do believe that our every gesture is somehow recorded and the more love we share the more we proceed on the path of spiritual evolution.

Love,
Margherita

When you decide to walk away- walk away. Don't look back, In that moment you'll lose trust and faith- in yourself.
