Fragrant Silence |

Do we stop and consider the purpose for life? The x-rays our eyes take for a single mystery? When our laughter is strangled by darkness? We are passengers on a long train growing shorter & shorter Flirting with minor surgery, floating down a stream doomed to perish What we leave behind only learning understands To the fragrant silence of fellowship permanently endowed Levitating a miracle which we fail to see…life a blazing scholarship Pocketing whatever happiness shoulders on our backs Concentrated high spirits, wit and good sense with a passion for truth Swift and deafening…like a summer storm of whispering raindrops Counting the smallest objects that were lost…fearing chances for life Visualizing a swelling caravan of your mind’s eager thoughts Handfuls of swirls come like fresh flowers springing up to fill a void Humming notes of true feelings…plump and rich, dense articulations Of the human soul…passions like true North…perfectly selected tones He was my true North, truth be known. By some unknown force pulling together eras emerging soul food A culture sealing memories of generations struggling through a night fog Romancing lasting characteristics of the old adorning Casablanca American needs to think deeply about marriage and the great meaning Of commitment…reclaiming conventional wisdom…not wasting pages While college woman write books on social changes But concentrating on the primary sources of our tools integrating What makes a woman successful, ultimately marriage and children What is meant for human eyes is something essential when the curtain falls Gradually finding all rewards are embracing one single point of view Language makes the senses one…from deep down in the earth were things were once lost There, in my right hand comes fresh fruit with a trembling lip Still groggy from the last limp sleeve of hinges and nails Rotating into dust….kissing me good-bye...like an infidelity Past all modes of life…even through the pain finds a true chivalry Where our flaws transcend…even to the lasting moments Where life attends to love and be loved in the vitality of light and honest virtue Why do some love only when it feels good? |

Where our flaws transcend…even to the lasting moments Where life attends to love and be loved in the vitality of light and honest virtue Why do some love only when it feels good? That's when the unconditional love becomes necessary, Lee. Hugs Ethel |

Why do some love only when it feels good? Because people haven't seen the purpose of life... “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
