There must be something that I did,
AGAIN...without me knowing
something that I'd shown--thought hid,
Something in a wart a-growing.

I must be so hideous
surely I am SIN.
and oh, I'm so, riduculous--
the open door to let you in.

Everything I was is gone.
Everything I am is song.
I used to be a lover's lay,
a gambler's sure bet parlay--
and now I am the death knoll's gong--
my voice, the silence in your song.

How I wish to be a leaf
upon the branch in pure relief
sun in shine upon the bough
tease of teardrops melting snow--
all that you might be? I AM.
possibilities--bedlam.

Wondeful writing, yet again, O Serene One...

Teasing Teardrops,

I can’t count,
The mistakes my mind makes,
I can’t count,
All the heart aches and heart breaks,
Why should I count someone else?
I can’t see,
Any warts, tattoos, or scars,
Concentrating on Aura.

When ashes go to ashes go to dust,
Strewn and blew in silent moan where winds rush
Scatters ‘neath the forest to every tree
Till within the wind all blossoms you’ll be.

Gloom

Sudhir...as always...so so lovely to hear from you. I was worried about you, yanno.
glad you came home.

Gloom? You made me smile and I didn't think it could be done. Thank you, my friend, was lovely of you to do that for me.   Hope that I can do the same sometime for you.

Saints and Angels
Sara Evans

We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We'll turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We'll survive

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.

These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels.
Saints and angels

when all else fails...listen to chick tunes

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold." ...
"So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay."
