Unseen but mindfully enlarged a picture perfect thus emerged and walked the path of wishes, hopes, as comfort for the now deprived. It strutted, preened, and then enticed with wares from deep within the soul and the discard of skin and bone opened the door to love. But followed then the rise of sun on a world unchanged by night’s foray and I knew not thunder but the bang of that door once opened wide. The noise reverberates through time and dislodges all the moments, years, from where they’re meant to be to the floor beneath our feet. We walk that floor quite unaware that pressure from our body mass hurts and wounds love’s essence and it lingers there close to death. It lingers, yes, it lingers there, waiting to rise again but will it, can it, should it, when all who tread upon the floor remain forever unaware? Helen / 23 January 2013 |

Heartfelt, deeply moving, and utterly realistic, Helen. Once trod, memories do make. Memories can smile back at you, but beware of those memories who . . . quote: ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Unusual visuals that you develop intriguingly, dear Helen. It is indeed always a matter of awareness. And yet, the echoes of love know no obstacles, except those we build ourselves. Your words are always wonderfully thought provoking. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Thanks everyone! Sometimes the unseen is mysterious simply because we don't understand it. I surely don't but I write it as I see it or rather as I don't see it. However, as with most things it's as we "think" it is and I think that in the world today love (proper love) is for the most part beneath our feet. It rises in pockets though but too small to make much difference to where the world is headed as a whole. Individually though it makes a big difference. Helen |

"Unseen", but there nonetheless. Felt, and contemplated in an effort to rationalize the caused emotion. Enjoyed the read, Helen! JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
