I've journeyed to
the depths of reason
captured quandries
in their lairs

But I dismiss
my own loud footfalls
on descending
spiral stairs

Ancient spirits
haunt with mystery
unredeemed by
what's not said

Those silent lives
betwixt truth and lies
despite the books
I've  read

Will we ever
truely understand?
Will we ever
truely see?

Or will the past
circle round at last
completing
destiny?

(sigh) This is sooooooo powerfully haunting, sweet friend, it too scares me sometimes yet I believe something in the past can be salvaged and can help set answers for the future! (sigh) This is powerfully said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
