True
I have
felt bone of hand
as I paid for ferry's cross.
It's true
that there
was no change made--
the price I paid became the cost.

I added tears
to River Styx--
I wished for powers of the Christ.
Fervently,
in a pained bliss
I invoked the cross:

"Lazarus!"
I stood command
in posure that my word was so--
"Lazarus."
I said again
"Wake up, it's time to go."

"Lazarus?"
say it's not so...
someone tell me that he breathes?
Lazarus...
my brother--walk!
then I fell down to my knees
disbelief of miracle--
my pleas a faithless blasphemy--
I begged each god
"oh help us please"
commandment written in mere chalk...

I was blinded by my grief.
Lazarus, already freed--
stood there just beyond my eye--
so much more alive than I

I watched him grieve for me.

Indeed - I expect many an answer lies "just beyond our eyes"... Write to us as you can, K... I expect your muse sits upon your shoulder right now... God Bless..

you see so much farther than most baby...
thinking of you KA..love you me twin.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
We fell them down and turn them into paper that
we may record our emptiness.

Religion holds so many great stories I find constant inspiration in the religous works and language.

Lazarus always reminds me of Wilde (another lover of religous inspirations) when the man cured by Jesus was asked why he cried and he answered "I was dead and he brought me back what else can i do but cry"

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

I've been noticing lately that I don't have any ability to express myself. I have determined not to use one word to reply to this... it touched me too deeply. Serenity... I wish I could say what I was feeling right now.

Much love
Kielo

I know only one thing, and that thing is that I know nothing.

I'm speachless.

I bleed, you all read, and may the blood never stop spilling for loss of emotion would be all too damning.
