In the space between moments

0 posted 2003-10-22 04:26 PM


I traverse this land
of undulating hills
and folds of shadow,
fingering the crevices
where mother earth holds
her secrets.

Lingering underneath
this lush, green façade
are whispers
of crystalline memory--
glittered columns
of ancient knowledge.

I long to understand
the lives of those before me…
But if I let my hands graze
the stalactites of time
will they shatter in my hands?

And so I crawl upward
toward the illumination of day
and leave the mystery behind…

Some things are better left an enigma.

We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.

(smiles) Oh Krista, I agree ever so much that some things should be left as mysteries, sweet friend, as our children's innocence and beauty should never be compromised for all the ugly truths of the world and we must hold true the beauty so the madness doesn't harm the precious world! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a gem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Krista, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes indeed...it's nice to read you dear Krista. Nice to see you here.
