To depths in venture of humility’s search.
Bowing to feelings, escaping only bruised.
Kneeling on shards of broken grace,
saving face as winds swirl the eyes in
squint of unrest.

Gratefully heard, each written feel of a
penned message, taken as truth,
beyond question.

Let not the sword reign, for wisdom’s
rule shall glance the blade.  And peace,
true peace shall rule most humbly.

(sigh) Oh Barry, this is lovely, sweet friend, and so very true, may we all encourage the quill rather than the sword or the mace or the scalpel and leave the sword in its sheath as a sign of loyalty! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Magnus,
sometimes the pen is not mightier, but I hope in this case it is.

Kneeling on shards of broken grace,


touching close to home....

hugssssss

I sing to life
To it's tragic beauty
To pain and strife
Let all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I lived through it all
