Such truths as this
are held   timeless
throughout history; the questions, the answers,
the mysteries
of when and how life repeats  itself  
in cycles of happiness and defeat

Tears fall freely

flowing into wells
of humanity,

some caused by joy
and others by pain
somewhere past misery
trying to gain

a balance,
a certain      somewhere
in between


the past, the present
all blend into dreams

and into reality, we awaken
learning from paths, previously taken...

such truths as this
remain,
timeless.





seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

you say it so well donna....hugssss you

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
