 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Like transparency of the echo Common sense is plummeted Into silence . . . You must reject contrition; Regrets are a waste of time, They lead you to the flame Of sorrow. How can you Taste sorrow on your tongue, Like ashes of foul deeds Dropping like pebbles when You're not the same person You used to be back in tha day. You must stop this Smiting of your soul for Things in the past gone bad. Your very acts of sorrow Confirms you are not the Same as you were in those Black days. Why then do you Allow the evil creature to Visit you in your dark and Hidden places? You are automatically Reprieved by the very act Of growing into who you Are. You have left the other You in its rightful foul place. Why then, is this constant, Drip by cutting drip allowed To give you inner turmoil? Ah, there is an unbroken sigh Of harmony within you which Allows you to separate who you Are now from who you were then. ©March 31, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (04-14-2012 11:09 AM).] |

I guess that all happens because we have trouble forgiving ourselves. Let's hope "God" doesn't have the same trouble. Enjoyed, Jerry. Helen |

Pf course that is a word, spiros, if Odgen Nash can invent words, so then, can we. Thanks for stopping by. <><><><> I found the way to forgive myself in October 2011, Helen. It was a long time coming, but I have breathed easier and slept better since. Appreciate your comments. <><><><> Hi yann, thank you a bunch for your comments, you're always welcomed here. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

It amazes me how much we change as we grow in wisdom. At least most of us do. Ida |
