If I must weep
let me cry
in the tongue of angels
so that bitterness
be made beauty
agony to harmony
within
a choir of seraphim
so that any who will hear
have ears only for the jubilee
of "holy, holy, holy..."


May it echo
in resounding hum
quiver first
in sweet refrain
build note upon exquisite note
sustain
and burst in exaltation.


A psalm to sing,
to touch,
to heal...


Let us dance in glory,
as it was meant to be.

a gift for an old friend, in prayers that this one might received

Thank you all.

I do genuinely despair when an apology remains unaccepted. I grieve for me and grieve for them as well. Everybody loses.

Sad, but? Not much more I can do.

Thanks for reading.

Karen...you're right...there isn't much more
that you, or any of us, can do in a situation
such as this...and you shouldn't have to.

It's unfortunate when someone chooses to let
a friendship die, rather than swallow their
pride and open their heart to forgive.

You know I feel this one...

Big hugs to you, lady...love you...

Karen . . .

this brought tears to my eyes
it really did - the whole thing

If I must weep
let me cry
in the tongue of angels
so that bitterness
be made beauty

you sing beautifully . . .

Thanks to my lovely friends.

And? hey, call me stubborn, or tenacious?

But I do not give up.

If I have keep hope for others, perhaps there is some hope for me?

Love to ALL. )

I have  been out of the loop so to speak  these past few days and  have only had moments to catch on here...but I noticed
(while with these two "delightful" children I am sitting for the 8th day...*exhausted*)you no longer have an email address...so if you do find the time I would appreciate it if you might send me a note..so I can remain in touch with you, when the mood so moves me as it has this evening, Karen.

a lovely psalm
