I am because I was, because I was I am, it behoves me not to know the beginning or the end. I am because I was taken, led, and coerced down the rocky road into the depths of you. Because I was I am the spirit of your love the water of your tears the bearer of your pain. I am because I was allowed to walk with thee see mountains, rivers, sunsets and feel as one with them. Because I was I am no longer who I was! |

Hi there "M"! More like a "life" twister, me thinks.  Thanks for the read.Hello, Icebox, ... and who says I can't sing, huh?? Well, a chant is half way there I guess. Take care. |

Honeybunch "I am because I was, because I was I am," Continuance is a circle, not a straight line, I think, otherwise how could this be true? I enjoyed this pondering. |

I really liked the rhythm to this. Neat! Failure isn't failure if a lesson from it is learned ~ KS |

Thank you, Ratleader. Oh yes, the "truth" - what is truth without some proof? |

They say the opposite of love is not hate, but fear. So, complete love means a there is no fear. That may not equal trust, but it's something parallel with it....and if you trust, there's no need of proof. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
