The truth of love comes trip-trip, tripping through the fields of turmoil and strife searching for daisies amongst the weeds and pebbles worn smooth by dedication. The sun beats down the heat of fatigue till night heralds in the shiver of fear but in the downpour of all obstacles the truth waits in a self-made shelter. Immortal patience and trained fortitude, a shelter for truth in the times of chaos but it’s not unhappy confined so within nor dismayed by the thunder of grief. It’s simply like me content to just be there where it’s safe and not fragmented by the seemingly harsh current conditions that force a retreat into silence. And so truth is o’er laid and forgotten for the time it takes for inclement weather to pronounce a surrender and yield to the forceful and dynamic. Storms; there are storms, earthquakes and more, theft, murder, crime, like outsized hail stones, and the sea like disease rises up, up, up, to move and remove those in its path. When the heart’s in denial and the world in upheaval the truth of love merely smiles and simply, you know, bides its time! Helen |

Excellent! Form and substance... I particularly like the first and last two stanzas, but the whole is definitly greater than the sum. I bow to you and yours. Peace, Love & Happiness.  "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |
