We all look for something
To hold us together
For some it is prayer
For other it is hope
All of us longing within
For the needed answer
To the wants so deep within us

Some of us need holding
In some special ways
To reassure us
That the blood is circulating within
A shattered body
Given in to depressed emotion

The unity of one does not work
For the human mind
Needs the interactivity of love
Creating harmony within ones self
To caress both identities

We all desire the rays of sunshine within
To touch us with such a feeling
We get exhilarated in creativity
Creating the gardens
With flowers that will cure us
Of such loneliness
For in their sight
Lies the beauty of your garden

Some of will indulge in depression
And the weight of this action
Soon appears to create new visions
Of their former self
So the snacks of life
Better be fat free

In the tears we lose ourselves
Throbbing in wrenching pain
We grow scared to feel any more
Shouting in frustration
How much everything
Is screwed up

Then in a moment so pure
It purrs into you
Nature sends a signal
Of just how special you are
And says how you are loved
And stops the flow
Of misty emotions
In thinning proportions

Hello White Eagle

Neve do I tire of reading your magical words about life and love.  So very stunning was the imagery portrayed through these words.

Take care.....Sue

(sigh) Oh my gosh, you always interpret exactly how we all feel so well, sweet friend, there are many times when I begin to feel depressed and I feel I have so little to hold onto, then when I am reminded by you and all the wonderful friends I love so much, I again emerge and embrace the world and share my love to make me happy! (big hugggsssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lester, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
