Creation is making its way in the world
slowly and surely one step at a time
and there is a plan, a grandiose plan,
for the next perceived lifetime.

But there are spanners, you know,
in the workshop of soul
that through intent get into the wheels
and grind to a stop the meant to be
after the most incredible noise.

There will be noise from the crowd
like group consciousness gone mad
for the spanner refuses to move
from her standpoint stuck like glue
to her mistrust of you.

There’s always a “you” to snarl up the works
but the group blames that harmless spanner
because they cannot see spanners are steel
and can’t by themselves get there from here.

So maybe there is a king of spanners
who lays down the rules unmindfully
for all little spanners to be like sheep
herded by border collies ~
but always in every endeavour
you’ll find one rebel spanner.

That spanner is steel;
don’t forget, don’t forget,
it’s possessed of severe mistrust
that will forever preclude movement
from the there to the here.

Spanners have hearts sensitive, sweet,
but hurts of the past have made them like dough
and they will not rise no matter the bribe
into another perceived lifetime.

Forget it!  That spanner is in the wheels
to not ever again love and then loose
the “you” who snarled up the works!

Honey, how do you keep coming up with such intriguing concepts? That is one creative mind of yours!

Love and a hug,

  Thanks Linda and Charles.  Perhaps I just relate to the small seemingly insignificant things in life like love - or maybe I just need a spanner but then again, if I had one, I wouldn't know what to do with it being as I am extremely challenged when it comes to the "fix-it" stuff.  I therefore just choose to think that nothing will break.
Love
Helen
