A horizon handshake in a warm bundle of birth My love for you was born before there was an earth And then became the earth, I watched myself depart While placed in God’s own hands, revolve a love at heart Then the doe and dove, set free, to roam upon my land I searched for soul, in hope that love, someday would understand Then God was feeling lonely, he breathed life into some clay I was pulled down to earth, from it, and born on hopeful day God always sees so fit, in His hand I accept my fate He took my rib, and for me, bestowed a loving mate When I was Earth, I revolved so simply around the sun Now I’m Man and I follow You until my life is done On the seventh day, sabbath day, God stopped and rested And to the sun, the earth, and man: love he hath invested [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 03-05-2001).] |

"On the seventh day, sabbath day, God stopped and rested And to the sun, the earth, and man: love he hath invested" This is wonderful, Walt! You've woven this in such a beautiful way ... very nicely done indeed!  Best wishes, /Kit |

?So, is this where Black Sabbath originated? Kiddin' I'm not the devil. I see you've jumped outside of yourself and are viewing all of your doings, leaving behind love but then returning. This Earth and Man thing is pretty "alright." !As big as the Earth is, the love was not as strong as Man's. So, I guess Man's duty is to reinvest his love in God. |

Beautiful. You always have such a nice flow to your writing. "One out of four people in this country is mentally imbalanced. Think of your three closest friends - and if they seem okay, then you're the one." |

Oh Walty, this is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful writing m'dear into my library it goes Maree I may know the word, but not say it I may know the truth, but not face it I may hear a sound, a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head, indifferent.
