I have counted grains of sand And stars as they in the black Let their light belong to you and I Knowing the numbers were too large For the time we had And too small to show the feelings Explained by neither. I lay here now, Watching the rise and fall of your chest As you breathe the same air I do Yet are in some world where dreams May feed you fresh The fruits of summer That you taste with the half smile I have seen when I enjoyed your lips And you seemed Amused I am a fool it would seem To feel the desert’s heat as I do When in truth the seasons change And a chill comes now at night There is no wisdom in the heart If your eyes should open to me And my watching be revealed Would you sigh of pleasure or Would it be as if you were caught Running in the loose dunes Each step to move forward a struggle In clinging sink of understand? I count again the sky… Without reason to wonder But with hope Someday I’ll be your sigh. |

There is no wisdom in the heart ~*~ Aye, we only fool ourselves into thinking there is... Well done Sir...very well done. |

the heart cannot count the ephemera of dunes nor fix the light of stars and half-smiles are so disarming . . . |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Ron, I have missed reading your wondrous poetry and am happy to be reading it again, sweet friend, I believe everyone would have to half-agree that there's no wisdom in the heart, as I also believe we should half-agree saying there's no wisdom in the mind when dogma can truly be a bear trap and incarcerate beyond the truth! (sigh) This is most deep and wonderful writing, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Oh My Ron, this is breathtaking Beautiful, passionate writing It reminded me of William Blake "To See the World in A Grain of Sand" beautiful . . . (foolish creature, may I add if she does not become the sigh itself) *smile* xxoo |
