The Reason is Unfolded The path is serpentine and furtive to unsure feet treading. I can see the breath of beginning down the slope across the tarn of newness nestled, it is like the tremble and flux of a smoky song, a nebulous thing, unsure of direction. Look back, down into the troth of a mother’s scream, look down the eyes of fear at how and say still how? How do I keep climbing life's frail and stony ridge with the moon so close now, its portence is holy and lingering and I will never see it again like this? I see fragility in the thinness of the skin that breaks and bleeds my effort. Oh, but when I sing the sky smiles and this heart of days is listening, listening still to answers that beauty defines and tomorrow is high, a ridge, so clever in its serendipity that I hear and finally understand that the answer is to question and the reason is unfolded from simple strive. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

What a story told in this....Thank you for the ride...I will be back to read in again  I have learned that the pain of a lost love will fade, But the memory of having loved will last forever. |
