Serenity


I tread lightly in my mind
dropping  hints
rating the moments shared
never a closure to the consequences
of loving you.

I wade into the shadows of sleep
taking with me the senses of your being
indulging myself in trust
knowing little
promising less
reluctantly tucking away
this study in blue.

I gather courage each morning
attempting the checks and balances
of a life stilled, seasoned in want
sometimes weaving dreams
into my days and in this way
feeling the power of warmth
to continue on.

M

(smiles) Yes, and keep paying your dues and making your checks and balances with faith as courage is just the grand step to this serenity you seek and will enlighten you through every dawn! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Such truth in your words...the ways that we content ourselves through loss and times of missing. Take good care. ThisDiamond

Little Mo darling girl this is utterly utterly wonderful When I think you have reached the peak of perfection you then write something that is so perfect, so well written and full of beauty Thank you for this true delight, it is so entrancing to the soul of the reader

And succedding in your endevour darling heart, you are learning indeed.



Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

"never a closure..."...beautiful, yet sad. Without closure how does one move on...yet how does one find closure? Maybe that's not where you were going with this but that's where you got me going....thanks for the trip
