Trail of trials, tribulation tossed into the winds of change, of moments past and yet to be. Lo, but to have the eyes of future tense, that I might see the journey, that I might know the wanderer’s mile as I walk upon the shifting sands of my own history, as destiny whispers. Lift the bones of aged, carry the burdened soul.Take tomorrow as today, with courage, as the grist of the mill of life grinds slowly. Each breath cautiously expelled, fearing that the halt might bring the darkness of life passing.Each step taken, as sands shift and sift beneath the barren feet. Beyond the flowing dune, beneath the stars shimmering on a moonless night, an oasis lies in wait.Drink of the cool waters, taste the wine of life.For beyond the dunes of tomorrow lie the grandeur of life anew....as the cast die of days past is covered beneath the sands of time.. |

You have no idea how wished for this in the past couple of months...to know the future...to know which way to go at the intersection. You are so awesome and amazing! Patricia |

Quite introspective my friend... Something about the dunes that is timelessness itself. As always, well done. TD |

Although I enjoyed the write, as I always enjoy your posts, I don't want to even think of you wandering off these blue pages! Sigh, it's good to read you again, Barry. |

**Breathe deeply the essense of the night, my friend, and let the beats of your heart take you into your future... filling thoughts and passions with the visions you weave so well for us...Life is not easy but through its many tribulations you have grown into a man of men who can touch the inner heart and soul of any who read your words...I LOVE IT!!!** |
