What is this disquiet Which threatens strength With desire for one To touch something long thought dead And denied to myself Though God himself had tried to stir The echoes of it in me? Do you hear me now Lord? I babble like the fool you always said I was And find myself in ache For what you promised me But that I can not embrace Faith, you said While I followed my own path In rejection of such animated hypocrisy As I witnessed where faith was concerned I would speak not of such But you have always enjoyed a good laugh And I do not mind Being laughed at now and again For I know that so much of us all Must be humorous to you Is Job around? I could use a lesson in patience today And perhaps a dribble of wisdom too As might fall from the lips of Solomon As he spit words my way In his disgust at having to humor me And perhaps You I promised long ago Not to curse you again And in return the truce we had was working well But I am tempted now For I have found inside the parts of me I thought dead Still breathe And I am left breathless with a touch Am weak to please… Tell me Lord… Is this love? Or have I simply found the truth that we are all alone and sometimes even time erodes stone |

I would speak not of such But you have always enjoyed a good laugh And I do not mind Being laughed at now and again For I know that so much of us all Must be humorous to you ~*~ and then you fade from humorous to seriously asking that which certainly occurs... ~*~ sometimes even time erodes stone and sands shift under weight of footsteps that would know once more that place... |

Now, aren't you glad that this needn't be cross-stitched onto a "sampler"? |

erosion, being worn away one particle at a time...and scattered... even the most unyielding eventually give way to even the gentlest of persuasion....given enough time  layer upon layer, here, and everytime i read you |

Ron "Tell me Lord… Is this love? Or have I simply found the truth that we are all alone and sometimes even time erodes stone" Deeply felt!  |
