Fret Not, For No Storm Will Come |

Like the calm after a storm, my heart rests. Each measured beat a reflection of within. Peace flowing through vessels once new. Now a tranquil stream of life babbling. Distant peaks of white caps grace my eyes. As birds and fauna surround and comfort. Little thoughts of love passing before me. The peace of a forest captures my soul. Will this storm return to my soul again? Can I endure the turbulence of the sway? Each beat of my blood rests in guarded wait. On steadied feet I stand before you Give me yourself that I might protect you. Let this heart take your own within me. Fret not when we are within each form for within my care, no storm will come. |

Give me yourself that I might protect you. Let this heart take your own within me. Fret not when we are within each form for within my care, no storm will come. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gosh Barry! These words could be used for wedding vows! Brilliant work my friend! ~hugs, Nancy~ ~We are a soul...dancing in a glimpse of time~ |
