Mantle of Lace Stormy gray clouds racing across the sky, the wind a banshee screaming in an uncontrolled rage, turning the ocean into a frothing mountain of turbulence. White caps sinking into gray angry darkness- Waves swelling in defiant insolence against the deadly reefs. Standing high on the cliffs of loneliness stands a lovely young woman. Her gown, ripped and torn, whipping around her slender ankles- Pulling, dragging like that of the icy tentacles of the monsters of the sea. She wears a sheer mantle of lace, to hide the tears, to hide the pain. Her voice when she speaks is filled with raspy emotional emptiness. No one able to see the tears cascading down her porcelain skin, or the breaking of her gentle heart. No one to hear her cry of “Why?” Her tears for all the yesterdays, all the wasted years lost in a moment, in a second of time, his life, his love, vanished. Standing near the edge shaking her fist in rage. Sheer mantle of lace floating on the wind. The only sound you hear is the crying of the wind and the crashing of the angry sea. Love BonBon  |

This shows the inner work that takes place in darkness. It is here her inner beloved, her divine nature comes to comfort her and to show the way … the secret friend who gives her the resiliency and superhuman strength to prevail against all that may befall her and, unlike any mortal human being, will see to it that, whatever may happen, for as long as she lives, she will never, ever be alone. And we are also here as well. Jaime better close his big trap … |
