there are restless days
when smiles seem like lands
that I misplaced the map to.
somwhere within me
there is a guiltless fountain
where my control can forget its manners.
Introspection can bear similarities to drugs
or the cold drinks that kick my inhibitions
beneath clean carpets for cover.
Something tells me that fountain and I
are going to be wonderful friends soon.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

Sigh. I guess that is not much of a secret, eh? evil, evil US...

Hey lady, it is good to be back, and read the words of my heart again.

I'm savoring every moment, and this was delectable.

I believe that Christ teaches us to have no guilt or shame, ever! Just release it all. Always!

Control is only to navigate man's way. God sees no evil. So let's gleefully drink deep from your guiltless fountain. Enjoy!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Jenn, smiles are indeed such valuable things that we seek to find and I know you will encounter so many more as you will find the fountain and always purify and drink to your hearts content from it and seek your dreams and elation! (kiss on cheek) This is so wonderfully expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jenn, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sharon,

You're right. I smiled right at the end.

SER! YOU'RE BACK! umm..Just thought everyone should know! Secret? you mean its not a secret anymore?

Ahh well, thanks for stopping by and making me smile with your wonderful comment. ~~sigh~~

Sliver Streak,
you said,
"I believe that Christ teaches us to have no guilt or shame, ever! Just release it all."

I don't think I understand this completely. My understanding of guilt or shame according to my religious background seems to be a little different than yours. Or maybe it is that yours is a little vague to me. I believe we aren't supposed to have shame for believing in Christ and living for Him (if we are in fact doing that). I believe that we are not supposed to have guilt over our past sins if we are reborn in Christ, because we have been forgiven for them. (if we have asked forgiveness for them)

you said,
"Control is only to navigate man's way. God sees no evil."

I don't really know how to comment on the control statement you made because I'm not sure what you mean. As far as God not seeing any evil. I think He does. He sees evil because He sees the sins hat we commit.
He doesn't practice evil or put evil thoughts with us. He forgives it, but I'm sure he sees it or he wouldn't want us to ask forgiveness.

I want you to realize that I am not making fun of your comments, and I am not ungrateful for them. I am also not bashing your views. I simply don't understand your them. Would you be so kind as to continue this discussion with me via e-mail so that I might understand you a little better? Thanks for your time with this. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Hi Noah,
thanks for the wonderful response. Now I think you're hitting the subject of this a little bit, but let me tell you..that fountain in this poem really has nothing to do with purity.

dreams? Yes! Elation? Yes! glad you enjoyed.

Too many people keep their fountains from flowing and they miss the beauty from both inside and the out.

Enjoyed!
