Not you but a part of the ether unseen instills the sense of love’s harmony because evil lurks there with a wand, a staff, and a hat that covers his eyes. Time brings to all undeniable truth and allows for complete absolution when “sorry” is whispered meaningfully in the shadow lands of a dream ~ but I walk now to the floodgates of grief with limited strength to stem the flow. Simply the mourning of wrongful belief and knowing the foolish have spoken enough to slay an innocent heart and send up pain to the spirit lands. A new day has dawned and still I mourn the willingness now to let love lie nestled so in complete aloneness somewhere in the blue, blue, sky ~ but in the drafting and planning anew I still see a most beautiful “you”!

Thank you, Dixie. I wonder, is there something gorgeous in grief that I'm unable to see or know now? |

Thanks, Jo. "Sad" is not so bad - I could be dead.  Martie - You're probably right but I wonder who benefits from that kind of proof. Thanks for the read.  Helen |

Helen, grief is a tough subject, but yes, being through it plenty, I do see beauty there and I see it in you my friend. Just know you are not alone. |

Thank you, Dixie, that's so kind. I do know I'm not alone - him or it has proved it to me but the motivation ... hmm? probably "evil" when it results in unleashed emotion. |
