No small coward soul is mine
Fearful of shadows own,
Fed by solitary thought
Cultured in wishes and dreams
The light of me shall not dim
As if a transitory ghost,
Troubled by its stormy fate
No, I shall have none of that
Look for some other trembler,
Troubled by events inconsolable
Discontent with the journey
As well as the destination
For all is predicated on chance,
Which clouds foreknowledge
No, it is in these very things
I will partake a particular comfort
And relish the ignorance

For in understanding
Leads to hopelessness
And hopelessness breeds,
Quiet, or otherwise,
Lives led by desperation

This is so true. I fear my soul, a coward, finds comfort in this life. *sigh*

Thank you White Rose, I don't think your soul is a coward.

Sometimes to relish ignorance
is a safe and comfortable place to be...
but...
the world won't let us be.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Magician, I too wish we can be more innocent and live much less complicated lives for I feel that is somehow the solution of some of the problems we face, yet it seems the government and societys always pushing us around so we have no choice but to cooperate to avoid unrest! (sigh) This is very well-said, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
