Something I should've thrown away.. |

In the summer's end right before the first snowfall, crisp in the center of autumn.. I planted a single seed, that wouldn't see light 'til spring. Here I am, in debt to winter, dawn's light lessens in color.. The sun takes it's vacation.. I breathe simple breaths that thrust like smoke before me.. All inside of me, like this bit of warmth soon disappears..it seems that exhaling was all for nothing.. The sight of proof that I'm living no longer excites me as once, it did. And then, just as raven's never seem to flock to a climate of heat..I feed them, the cannibal bird, the wing-ed sacrificer..I hold no grudge. For, whilst myself lies in patient judgement, in circles this life spins.. I will re-live this chill all over again, this pain will pass but never end. But in some consequence, I've reached an understanding.. I've watched the ice crackle beneath innocent's foot and took fate out of my palm.. let the black gems slip off my tongue. I am not at fault for what is meant to be I can no longer show the sky that it's home to millions of shining gods. And I... cannot beckon away the raven that digs for my seed. I cannot stop him from swallowing spring. |

 (sigh) Very true, but then if you were the raven, would you really like to swallow it up? Ravens can be a lot more persuasive and modest than we can imagine, sweet friend, they may be much like ourselves to a geat extent, God Bless You, all you throw away makes nutrients for something else, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Meghan, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

I am deeply impressed, and this is firmly ensconced in my library... |

Excuse me, but my head actually is spinning. This IS my favourite of yours, i've said this before, but this, really is. when do I get to write like you? Damn meg, too many lines to quote, but what do I say to them, my words could not say what each makes me feel. so dumbfounded silence, just like dix. hugging you,  ~I wanna live, I wanna give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold~ Neil Young |

Very powerful and in the same time touching words! Seeds usually are many .... so even if the raven finds one ... Spring will be again blooming in your heart. Love, Margherita  |
