Between heaven and earth a chasm is stretched open and wide like the smile of our youth determined to catch God’s given worth and refresh imaginative minds. Pour oil and I slip backward in time, water plays havoc with feet on the ground, but the chasm waits like a lover in love to shiver through bodies creative intent. To break from the old is to fall, fall, fall, into the chasm of innovation that designs and builds from the bottom up a unique and new manner of being. But the path is blocked by the forest and me as if life would preclude a renewal of thought and this capture and hold of minds in boredom a betrayal of our magnificence. And the you and me likewise entwined can’t see that the chasm no abyss feared but a plain and simple hole for the soul where men and women still fear to go. Refresh, renew, revitalize, mend, but rekindled sparks sizzle, snap, crack, and burn the brushwood of love’s malady as quick as a flash and just like that. So burn, baby, burn and come out an adult; it doesn’t take sticks to light a new fire! Helen / 15 May 2007 |

Thanks to all for your kind comments. Very much appreciated. Jo - I'm well thank you. I'm off tomorrow to listen to the rumble and roar of the sea! |
