And as the silence of renewal
o’er lays what used to be
I look back and remember love
with a deep embedded ache.

It’s a pain of such intensity
no one should have to bear
but it doesn’t grow to overtake
the forward movement of a life
like a shattered spinal column
keeps one immobilised.

It’s simply there like skin and hair
to be moisturized and brushed
when it starts to dry and crack
and become unmanageable.

But no one says, “Ah-ha, I see
you’ve creamed and put asunder
what night has brought again to light
from the dark of daily life.”

We just daily groom it out of sight
like something meant to be
and even I can’t stay as love
when embroiled in life’s betrayal.

So then the ache embedded deep
becomes something we refuse to feel
and mind the victor once again
takes a bow on centre stage ~
and all of this is meant to be
so the prophets say.

But prophets, sages, and the like
are really just like you and me
finding grace within the night
and dispelling it in daily life!

Helen~
EVERYTHING you pen has such a real-of-feel in it~

'prophets, sages, and the like
are really just like you and me
finding grace within the night
and dispelling it in daily life!'

How the uniqueness of your thoughts reaches out and touches me in some way or another~

Bless you this day~

May you overcome this pain and move ahead on the Path of life where without any doubt you will encounter new gifts of love and joy, dear Helen.

You always write beautifully and move me.

Love and hugs.

Dear Marge, I think of you so often and hold you in my prayers. Thank you for your comment. I could reply "none so touched as me" but the jocular manner of my words may not come over as intended. Here's a smile anyway ...

Look after yourself.

My dear Margherita, Thank you for always reading and for your so gracious comments. I wish you peace in the home.

Love
Helen
