The power of love born with insight arises today before dawn’s early light like a woman, a man, awakes to a need before, long before, sleep is complete. Caught in the fable of earthly mistrust it could be perceived as layers of dust uselessly lying about like a sloth on the surface of life’s sad tablecloth. Wind through the door of needing more and love rises within as it did once before a magician’s cure-all for long suffering with a magic wand of sweet murmurings. Dust settles, it does, and love is the same no matter the sigh of please go away but only my land littered with dust and only my hands layered with trust. The power of love like a vagabond gene leaves me now forever unclean! Helen / 31 August 2005 |

Brava, Helen......very on! (The boards are very slow tonight....probably cause so many here in the U.S. are in a state of shock....I know, I have no words at the moment.)  ....jo |

Yes, Jo, I certainly can understand. The weather has been very cruel of late and I am most grateful for our climate. Maybe the earth has just had enough. Take care! |

Thanks, Eric and LeeJ, for the read. The brain or rather the heart expresses best before the morning light but then, of course, fades well before midnight. |
