In my remorse of day Reigns a pouring truth That in the pale of night There falls my ugly youth May I accept somehow A life filled with God And be spoiled by heart And ever spared the rod I know, I know nothing Professed by empty world So I look within myself And into darkness hurled I step away from comfort And leave my inner zone That ever kept me safely Although I was alone In my sadness, saving Unbinding lenghts of rope Tied in knots of new love Awash in blinding hope [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 03-29-2001).] |

Wayoutwalt.... Within my heart "there reigns a pouring truth ...a life filled with God.." Thus "I look" to find "myself.. Awash in blinding hope." I like your thought. Bob |

Certainly speaks to our inward journey and search for happiness. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Walt, this is eloquent, hopeful reflection. Very nicely done! Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Sweet Walt, I hope your tone is experimental and that you truly are not feeling like this. This was wonderfully done as your work always is. I hope you've been well. We're sorry..this heart has been d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d. Should you like to hold the line we'll be glad to reconnect you.. |
