Oh the embrace of life’s right hand
With a necklace of love and truthfulness
Writing them on our hearts where no love
Should take refuge or hide from the nest of others
For without wood, the fire disintegrates
Partnerships are for giving…
Were we lay like a newborn in the belly of the stars
With eyes that see full generations forever
There is no sleep, nor day or night…but labor
And I will depart as naked as I arrived…..

Images, emotions, hopes and realities, in so few lines. You're rich in writing abilities lady!

  So pure, so true... Then, the last verse!
You're writing and thoughts are so carefully chosen and developed.  I truly enjoyed reading your words, Lee J.

"Were we lay like a newborn in the belly of the stars"

This line is very soothing to me for some reason....

and the next....
"With eyes that see full generations forever"

If the world thought ahead like this it would be a much differnt place.
Perhaps we should take advice from the Lakotah and at least think seven gererations ahead?
