casual extra marital encounters
and
the upholding of self-aborting decrees
were never things
I took pleasure in
Can we all call to mind
the removal of the chain
in doorways where the bested man
has just minutes earlier
departed
or even the toppling of glass bottles
the pyramid structure, going the way of the domino?
There are no victims
just players
some clock in on an automaton figure of eight
others struggle to beseech the seam
tear a hole in the clouds
and kindle a little flame for themselves
up amongst the stars

(big hugggssssss) Oh Steven, this is so very true, indeed there are some who play this game but in the domino effect so many others become victim to the game and you never have the force to pull up and look up! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is fabulous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
