                            …what’s within….

                            all phenomenon must
                            have a center

                            within

                            there must be a burning,
                            a spark
                            ~life unfolding~

                            yes, all phenomenon

                            ~*~

                            in that which is mine,

                            I find
                            patriotism

                            at the core

                            where once it was
                            but a steady glow,

                            it is now only
                            just
                            beginning to
                            burn

and the stars light up the stripes...
very very cool write Deca...
your flame is a welcome warm here today  

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I found a love so strong
The sun and the moon looked on in jealousy

Ohh..I have missed your work. Where on earth have you been? geesh. This was wonderful! I always loved your style.

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

Very neat form in this.

Deca, let the flames burn!! Wonderful........

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
