Costumes of sequins silvery
Embellishment displayed pretentiously
Now an unaffordable luxury
Such a drab unnecessity
For all dressed up, no where to go
Left a me I did not know
Stripped of ornament of the skin
Unadorned, I can now begin
To greet the me of reality
Find the jewel eyes can’t see
A treasure that can only be
Of the golden locket held in me

Oh man....This nearly took my breath away and my heart is beating so fast! This is very, very powerful and you have much wisdom in your writing! Keep it up!!!!!

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

(big hugggsssss) It is best to just slowly make these discoveries so we don't let all the promises come out at once and leave us dissatisfied within the next instant! (sigh) Keep the golden lock intact and then embrace all that's out there, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
