Behold, thine Heavens do speak this morn
On weathered wind for all to hear
Questioning heart mine hath been torn
Music doth fall upon deaf ear
Most times the tender heart does beat
In thunderous tune with One above
It is this tune we all repeat
An endless journey I once did love
Eternal beauty eyes once did see
Reflected in mine self but true
Resting in tranquility
Savored thus and kept for you
In this world I spend my life
Murderous existence of haste and strife

the dual imagery is awesome
my first impression is God

I too, felt a duality in for whom the message was intended.  The last line does suggest a ever present angst.
But your thoughts are always worth reading.  KJ

Sue, there seems to be peace
and turmoil in this one.

Hope you're okay?  

Heart Hugs,

of One .... thy self prevails
  through accepting peace and war

endless tides of filling sails
  and wanting thy heart to soar

not in pain ... nor illness
  nor tortured souls of unrest

but eternal fulfillness
   this, the forgiven at best

Be true ... to hearts content
  never waiver in self doubt

the journey your Fate has meant
  other's hate knows not about

there is only one to be ...
  and that is the one called ME

Sue... You always seem to bring the best imagry possible t the forum. This was very nicely done, and would have gotten my vote had you chosen to include it.

Dear littlewing, you do walk in the Light, but shadows can blot out the sun from time to time...

You are a wonderful writer!
