A breath away could be light years yet I breathe and feel you near a presence or a memory, a dream or fantasy, and then the daylight turns to grey I recede perhaps to pray and watch the dark horizon run away with my today. Over yonder hill it hides between the rocks and trees in wait like a blackened thief for the dawning of new days. A trot, a run, a gallop; how swiftly passes day not sharp enough or sly enough to hold the night at bay. And an echo of my life filters soft in fading light no longer strong and fortified by dreams and fantasy to armour plate the brain against harsh reality. But enough and I arise the setting sun doesn’t cry but laughs in the face of night completely unafraid. How purposeless is fear yet how timidly I kneel and watch the dark horizon run away with my today! Helen |

"How purposeless is fear" this is an amazing phrase full of hidden depths. Well done. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Wow, Helen, you always have so many levels of feeling and thought within your writes. I enjoyed this one, and will come back for another read when tomorrow's morning light re-wakens my brain. |

Thank you all so much for reading. Writing from the heart is perhaps easy enough - it's living from the heart that's more difficult for those that try. Here's to another day!! |

"How purposeless is fear yet how timidly I kneel and watch the dark horizon run away with my today!" To be human is to know the place of fear. Well done my friend. |
