I read aloud the words penned
In remembrance of a dream

“Be of great care with this heart
for it has known gash and tear
that though not healed are held
in check by brittle thread,
to stop a bleed of want
the hemorrhage of Fear”

and in pause… no more to read
for those lines followed by others
told only of another slash ,
I swore

A raised fist holds no hand but its own
And I knew those fingers curled
In the palm of mine

Knew alone.

"to stop a bleed of want

Funny how want bleeds less than fear...if it were the other way around wouldn't we accomplish so much more?

Beautiful.

Gee...this is deep. I can come up with a couple scenarios that this would fit it. I find pain and courage in it, and a smoldering rage.

Simple my foot! But humble as can possibly be....

Hugs, Pat

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Ron, I can relate to this heartfelt plea ever so much, dearest friend, I have dealt with too much hemorrhage in my life with no tourniquet to sustain my losses and I long to be loved and to hold a loves hand for the first time! (sad sigh) So I continue to pray, this is wonderfully written, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
