Folded first the spark within
like death before rebirth
stretches, bends, and travels still
the journey to a flame.

Not born into awareness
on the right side of the street
the magic of a mind
brings close and very personal
the true meaning of a life.

Suddenly a rumble,
truth gone before insight,
and afraid the spark trembles
fearful lest it rain
the pain and grief of yesterday
upon its infancy.

But suffer say the old,
swallow tears until you age,
and feel inside the ache
of spark turned into ash
before, long before,
you stand an awesome flame.

And in the twilight time
remember there is night
when sparks from ash arise
and unfold into the universe
the deep unconscious mind
to burn, and burn,
through time and space
truth, wishes, hopes, and dreams.

I feed a spark attention,
fan with imaginings,
and wait a silent spectator
to the awesome power of mind
able, if disposed,
to move the glass of time
close and very personal
one last and final time.

I beg to differ.... do not suffer or put up with old time tears. Do not choose that path you feel near.

Sometimes we have to suffer in order to truly appreciate what will some day be. If one can't accept that graciously, we can make ourselves very unhappy.

My goodness ... this is just gorgeous~

I just love the all of this~

Dear Helen, you give me pause, time and time again.

Thank you so much for all your good thoughts!
