Gates fly open,
stone walls crumble
both entrance and exit
Facing infinity-
in all direction;
swirling thoughts fall away,
words shattered to smithereens
darkness pierced...
void split to pieces
in the realm of the heart.

i see gates being open and stone walls crumbled as a "good" thing, though you are left vulnerable,
...i like this little piece...
has me thinking..

void split to pieces
in the realm of the heart.

beyond the darkness
beyond the silence
beyond the abyss

when the crocus bursts
through the thawed earth,
moist and fertile brimming
full with winter's melt...
swollen blossoms will greet the sun
eyes squinting to a smile...

i await
the first
popping heads

(smiles) Oh Paul, I've always seen the opening of gates as a beautiful thing too, as it can feel heartbreaking like a puppy looking out an iron-barred pound window looking behind the gates and wanting to run free and barefoot on the land around! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

flower beds,
blanketed in soft snow
