Deep in the heart

0 posted 2006-11-20 10:12 AM



dry your tears dear one
let your thoughts drift aimlessly
remember good things
breathe in the essence of love
filling your wonderful heart
~*~
pray instead of wish
for faith is trust perfected
immutable hope
incontrovertible love
absolutely lives in you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

this pair is a soothing balm, a wonderful way to start the day.

The vocabulary in it is stunning, captivating, delicious. I really can't say any way I'd change it.

...saved faster than you can say "Love", Doctor!

A love-ly write! Only a poet who truly understands the meaning of love, could have written this!

To Love & Loving,

So much is healed in the love of the self...and in the love of others.
You captured the peacefulness and gentleness of these thoughts very well.
Enjoyed the moments here.

String along with me
a soothing song of pure love
Lilt of melody
humming hearts in perfect share
for all of the world hears ... sings~

Perfect view of How Jesus loves us!

J. M. Barrie, the playwright, may have said it best when he wrote, “God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December.”

Today I needed
some small quiet interlude
that spoke of such things
like peace, come grace, come loving
today I needed just this

No one with open eyes and heart could refute the wisdom that lies at the heart of this wonderfully written piece.

I personally have choosen this love above all others, as it will never let me down.

This certainty gives me the peace and strength I need to get by each and every day of my life, which would quickly spin out of control without it.

Thank you.

To thy own self be true
