Far beyond the smokeless pall where graveyards bloom with men again I hear the raven's raucous call reminding me, all life is pain The world is pain from birth to death with times of gladness sometimes spent in view of nature's blooming breath we put aside our sad lament From birth to death and in between the whips and chains will sear our soul the wonder times are just a dream as war intrudes to take its toll but in between those times of joy can make the darkest heart feel blest with springtime's hope in soft employ the darkness takes a time of rest those songs of joy, in cycles strong recede as pain once more intrudes the rain will follow clouds along the threat of war comes brash and crude the threat of war that hovers near and on our brightest hopes rains down the edicts of the fates are clear in suffering you must take the crown the crown of thorns that this world bears for shedding blood - the gift of peace and life is pain in nicks and tears until we're granted last release our last release in smokeless pall takes the suffering to its source and raucous raven, with harsh call reminds us life has run its course. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Maree, thank you so much, I'm glad it has left you speechless, it means my form has come back and the jet lag has gone. I was writing nonsense for a while. *HuGS* lovely lady. Lynne Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Lynne, this is very good. this part stood out to me...... "but in between those times of joy can make the darkest hours blest with springtime's hope in soft employ the darkness takes a time of rest" Oh, yes those times of joy and rest are what keeps us going in any situation. Thanks for sharing your work, friend. Love To All Ethel |

Keth beloved heart I was waiting for this to slip so I could raise it up to the moon again. Krissy was just on the phone and sends huge hugs and kisses, and will be delighted with any gift that can give her direction which I so obviously can’t. As for me I would tell you that this is outstanding in its thought and execution but since I know you will simply shrug and say Slushy you are blinded by love I shall simply say this I s’pose its has its merits. Loosely translated that means that when angels let loose a sigh of wonder they are doing it because they have read you. it is splendiferous and I love it utterly   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Kethry, this is so very true, sweet friend, and through all the tears may we all bind together compassionately and begin to fulfill the ring of peace making cicles of hands! (sigh) Such wisdom fills your heart, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Marsha, I like your interpretation although it embarrasses me as you would know. Dark Angel, thanks, thanks. Madame Chipmunk, I can't imagine why I would have had jet lag after all eighteen hours is not so long to fly is it? No wonder I was bird brained for a while. vandana, thanks for stopping by. Eagle One, I'd like to lie and say I wrote this for your birthday but I didn't your birthday poem would have been mu8ch more natural had I written it, which I didn't but I have all the good intentions - enough to pave the road to hell. Happy Birthday anyway. Bill, thank you, I like what you do too? Noah, it may be wisdom that fills my heart but love and compassion fill yours. Thank you sweet Noah you have a beautiful heart. Martie, thank you for taking time to read and respond Keth. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
