Bleak and Bliss On the slope of a hilltop, a steep mountain did drop down to the rapids of a river named Syn. Panic in the rain’s roar plunged on its slanted floor. Bleak, on a horse of bones, galloped down the wind. Behind, Greed and Envy rode their palomino steeds with Wrath next to Lust and Chaos in the night. To a town called Choice raced Bleak and his marauders ‘cross a moon where horses shine skinless in the light. Daylight would be coming soon, sizzling hot the sand dunes. Faith, Hope and Charity waited dawn’s light to kiss. Their horses neighed a cry! Love and Justice looked to sky. On the rays thrown from Sun like a fist galloped Bliss. On streaks of sultry sizzling sand, his horse Sunlight burned red. Bliss waved a hand and beckoned with a blast of booming voice. Off the sand dune they did heed, self-propelled by hooves of speed, to catch Sunlight’s blistered blaze now inbound and aimed for Choice. And flickering ‘cross horizon stars betwixt the moonlight’s beams and bars,Bleak and Bliss rode prairies ‘til they reached a half-mile gap. Seeing Choice ahead, they tightened reins to jump that impasse half-mile gain,and fearless leaped the chasm, hooves in air landing pat. Our human halves of Bleak and Bliss are flaws and strengths we would commit to reach a Choice that we need make requires always…..some Leap of Faith.

quote:I see Zorro with his cape furling in the wind as the "chasm" is compromised. Cleverly conceived and written Namyh. Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

Ari – If you can see Zorro’s cape furling in the wind, then you must have heard his sword as it whistled a “Z” on a passing cloud before landing. I’m so glad you enjoyed this and I’m also kinda glad you brought Zorro along with you. I always did like those Spanish boots he wore. LOL. Stop in any anytime. Namyh |

Always good to meet a fellow fan Namyh...I've got them all and now I'll be thinking of "fearless" every time I watch 'em! Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

Ari - So glad you got 'em all fellow fan. 'Adoios Amigo' which translates into 'Live long and proper' in Vulcan and 'Keep the Faith, bro' in Brooklynese and then there is......ah heck, you get the idea. Thanks for your 'fearless' enjoyment Ari. Namyh |

A very cool story Namyh! I really liked this, "Our human halves of Bleak and Bliss are flaws and strengths we would commit to reach a Choice that we need make requires always…..some Leap of Faith". Truly awesome writing! I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car. |

DaysofView - I guess there will always be the Bleak and Bliss in us, no doubt to help with the choice of chasms we're destined leap or not leap. Thanks for stopping by DOV. Namyh |
