What's in a black hole?  This is, alas, what some people will see, a hole as black, as black can be. But I looked closer, deep down the hole and saw some nurture for my soul.  I saw a web, fresh made at dawn, when frost still covered winter's lawn. The spider's waiting in the dark, well hidden, or she'll be caught by any lark.  I saw a creek, in Autumn's golden gown, with leaveless trees and reed turned orange brown. The silence, it could be almost heard, was broken by the song, of a lonely bird.  I saw a mill, which vanes were slowly turning and to the past, my heart was yearning. When cars and planes were not around and the tread of horses was a natural sound.  I saw a church, in evening's sunset glow, where faith and hope in people's heart still grow. I saw all that, when I looked down the hole, which seemed so black, but lightened up my soul. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY PIP FRIENDS |
