‘tis not a spider web but the weave of one bemused
that twists and turns, overlaps, and tucks the corners in
to ensure a neat conformity and unruffled approach
to the nudge and prod of love
that demands acknowledgement.

No wind or rain dislodges same or hail dent the façade
for the weave of mind by one bemused
too solid and compacted
to allow a journey down into  
the essential truth.    

And that weave my goods and property,
my pension, comfort zone,
and my busy-ness and bustling
betwixt the non-essential
and the soon to dust.

So stands the one bemused in a swamp land
sinking, sinking, sinking,
and sinking, sinking, sinking,
until sinking kills the thinking
and heart released at last
rises up from the depths.  

But no one braves a swamp land
to retrieve the risen up
unless, unless, they know
that heart is meant to last!

So... *bratty grin* This love schtuff actually works if we can only stop thinking? LOL Note to self: turn off brain. LOL (Sorry, Helen... I couldn't resist. *G*)

Seriously... I love it! *S* The weave of one bemused... it's just perfect! *S*

  You're absolutely right, my dear!  We have to stop the thinking but never turn off the mind for the unfettered mind is the key that unlocks the door to so much more - and the "heart" is so much more than can ever now be known. Sadly most of us don't have the time or the inclination or the know-how to stop the thinking.  The brain is another thing altogether.  I'll have to "think" about that one but I suspect it is merely a physical housing for the mind and mind, of course, can leave it whenever it chooses to do so.  Mind is an independent little rascal but it hides in that thing we call a brain.

  Yeah - believe it or not.  Not sure if I do yet but I'm working on it.

Thanks for the read. Helen
