I leave you now
to talk with gods.
O tie the sacred rope 'round me.
Into the chamber, enter I,
Holy,
of ancient Holies.

Into the temple,
travel I,
I find the door
in middle eye--
there is no brasive rope to burn
but for the lessons of discern.

Are there yet followers to keep,
should wisdom be a dead man's sleep?
Dream by virtue of locale--
these things I learn--can never tell.

It's complicated circumstance--
knowledge is the root romance--
every thing we place in stead
is pennies on the eyes of dead.

Simple knowledge of "alone."
Simple longing to go home.

Holy, holy, Holiness...
we think if we find God we rest.
There is no rest for weary head,
Be Still. Let God,
find you, instead...

EXCELLENT flow, Srenty! Makes me think of a hymnal I used to sing when I went to church. That was certainly a long time ago, yup. Great write, Karen. enjoy the dark since I can't get ICQ to turn back on.

Another amazing piece from your pen Serenity. Such imagery, such thoughts questioned and so beautifully expressed.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Nan...I never did thank you properly for all of your help....and now if you can just teach me how to write iambic pentameter? (That's right, give a gal a cookie and she'll ask for a glass of milk too!

)
Thank you.

Michael, I humbly thank you as well for your kindness and mentorship. (And I'm studying...grin)

Startime...(love yer name) I thank you for your generous praise, and kindness. Hugs.

Magnus? laughing here, "do as I say, not as I do..." Think I need to practice what I preach. Smiles and thanks.

Tracey...you too. I'm grateful that you enjoy and glad that we relate. Hugs and grats.

And to everyone...I apologize for "keeping up," But there's so much to read and so much to write, (You guys are always inspiring me!)
