In the killing fields of a loveless life
saviours rise from out the past
to throw the bones of stimulus
to the needy underdogs.

The meat is gone but the chew on bones
a seeming sustenance
for the now tied and tethered
to the stake of ripened age.

Throw the bones!  The hungry need to eat
and ‘tis now the moulting season
of a love’s most perfect fit
that can’t go on and on
without the wholesome meat.

But I trust beyond this one lifetime
the voice of love will call me thrice
and supply the manner and the means
for true essential growth.

I trust but there’s luck in the party packs
and timing in the candy
and all the way to go to the tallest tree
before a satisfied recline
in the shade of happiness!

Helen / 5 October 2007

Thanks JL!  I'd like to believe it will be that way because that's the lasting kind of love.  
Take care!

Cynical beginning ...

only love will do and when we turn within we find those strings that tie us to the Source ...

trust, dear Helen! Impressive composition, you always dig deep.

Love,

Thanks, Ida.  It may be a good line but you don't want to live it!
