hands on the clock stuck between midnight and one o’clock a foreboding time this barrenness of the night a time to leave the flesh and complacent Mind set your thoughts on your barren Soul and fill it with laughter and happiness this Soul of yours, not accustomed to anything but bleakness and shadowy places now is expected to rise to wondrous heights it was a struggle between Soul and Mind a stalemate as it were ah, but Soul and Mind combined to reach heights n’er ascended to before why are we here,Mind queried “Can’t you see,” Soul answered back, “I was once a dark and dreary thing . . . without hope” but you are still dark, Mind replied “Ah, yes I am,” Soul retorted, “but now that we have come together, you are the bellows and the spark.” Mind laughed producing the spark Soul lit up, n’er to go dark again ©May 31, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Now you have made my day, Lori. Sometimes, somehow, I manage to get one written right. Even I like this one's message. Thank you, thank you for your continued support, sha. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
