"Tears aren’t always about weakness." |

Rippling undulating waves on the land cast sculpted near-parallel bands of silvery sand, caressed by receding waters wake and the traces our individual footsteps make. Tears aren’t always about weakness. Sunrise and sunset scribes a given day into forevermore calendars that mark our way, as heartbeats celebrate the seconds allocated to each, our time to share. Tears aren’t always about weakness. Cloudbursts and storms sometimes obscure beneficial ionic exchanges not readily visible, but nevertheless there, sweetening the breath of our earthly air. Tears aren’t always about weakness. When the steps upon the sand lead us away from the private pathway we each tread upon, may they lead in the direction of freedom, may they guide the tears of each soul to the One. Tears aren’t always about weakness. *for Michael Auguste, whom I quoted: "Tears aren't always about weakness" and all souls who know about tears* * May ripples of LOVE become waves of PEACE [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (03-20-2004 12:38 PM).] |

This is very inspiring! "When the steps upon the sand lead us away from the private pathway we each tread upon, may they lead in the direction of freedom, may they guide the tears of each soul to the One" That's very eloquent. Eric |

"When the steps upon the sand lead us away from the private pathway we each tread upon, may they lead in the direction of freedom, may they guide the tears of each soul to the One. Tears aren’t always about weakness." Beautiful Kacy, and I am sure Michael loves it! Very inspiring and uplifting. ~Soft smiles and heart hugs, Nancy~ Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
