This is written for those whose livelong inner scars will self heal.

Scars cover my body but cannot be seen
Deep insertions of insinuations ply deep in its sores
Daggers of mistrust are cast before words are even spoken
Impressions are set in concrete
Before the beauty inside arrives

Society’s children put you in another world
Casting its spell of innuendoes
Where the trial of your life has already sentenced you
To a prison of isolation and desolation

The scabs of the world that hide in Mardi Gras masks
Live on self elevation into a level
That garbage does not smell
A point where they make more sense
Than what nature has to put out
In a draining of flushed needs

The elevator shoes of giants in self diagnostics
Will program you in their view
Generating a virus of destructive immensity
In chain letters of deceit
The Enron grows inflated
To burst eventuality in the stock being worthless
To take on another flushing of sorts

Eventually the curse of my presence will overpower
To the sweet sensitivity in my living flesh feeling so
Much that the people will hear me preach
Of the dimensions within oneself being blessed
In the universe of creative harmony

With my hand in thought binding with theirs
In a chain of humanity seen in any light
That everyone has something to offer
That it comes so naturally when you believe
In God’s children whose scars smile

(sigh) So very well-said, sweet friend, I believe we all hurt sometimes, and we are all children of God, but we suffer for a reason to grow and become the loving souls we are born to be and learn to have compassion for others and establish harmony using it! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lester, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
