Ahhh, pouring courage into fire Like liquid quietness, gripping lips The heights like breath of spirit All truth inhabits visions Sun lighted by desire Gladness and festive mood Kneels before feet of tenderness Diametric powers play with the natural world What creature of madness Holds my thoughts, buried alive? Giving meaning to firmness Of common mineral…what working genius! Passion commands all fatal shadows I reach out and grasp hold But fall, fall, fall, end over end Some spontaneous impression pulling me Grabbing my body, my spirit Then…quiet…I accept that place Nothing feels invalid There is trust, trust betrays my thoughts Salvation is no longer a word Now, being is predominate Being in transcendent glory Naked with no feelings of shame I find chaos in the shadows, looking at me quizzically As if a fine being, that shadow is How could I know, it was part of everything Not mean, but unbiased, I was not…then No longer with a rebel mind, but of sentiment I lock gaze, and it melds with youth Conforming to it, reaching out to me Forgetting who it wishes to be Who I was…names now were not realities But the playhouse of Heaven was the law being Coupling adorning motions of matter Emitting a voice of things I knew nothing of Yet needed nothing but knowing the essense The cornerstone of neutrality Going infant with unvarnished hands All things become whims which come true Bleeding sweet sounds and assurances Ohhh God the music, the astuteness! There is a most agreeable sensation And in all that time, my fall never hit the ground I know in the multitudes, I am in a friend’s perception I am perception |

LeeJ I think you plumbed and summed it very nicely. Good morning dear. |

I am of the opinion that all of my responses are inadequate to the brilliance of your illustrious writes. Might I say, I love to read and absorb, your "perceptions"! They literally stream down the page!  Hugs 'n loves, Linda |

LeeJ: It was difficult to pick one verse of this write more glowing than the others...but to me this was the ribbon that tied the present to the gift. "Then…quiet…I accept that place Nothing feels invalid There is trust, trust betrays my thoughts Salvation is no longer a word Now, being is predominate Being in transcendent glory Naked with no feelings of shame" This is breathtaking.
