Our names are here, unspeakable words of mystery. Present from the start. Called through the divide of night and day when one long arm spun the sun and set the moon to sway. We were gifted with one full day to learn our lessons forgive, forgive transgressions and break the chain of karma’s bind. One full day to find our rhyme. We have names we need to find to float us past the mirror's time. The world tempts us to this wanting stay. But I hope we find our way to a brighter shine, where names are echoes of celestial dust propelled with life of forward thrust. Tonight I leave behind all stone and brass and gaze the world through looking glass. [This message has been edited by iliana (07-10-2004 03:03 AM).] |

I find this a well done vision of hope. It is a nice contrast to some of yours I've thought were difficult to write. It is a pleasure to read your work on an early Saturday. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Called through the divide of night and day when one long arm spun the sun and set the moon to sway. This is an incredible way of putting the creation, love it. The entire write speaks to me on a most deeply spiritual level. We were, we are and we will be, this life is merely a stepping stone on our path. Simply Beautiful jo. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

I always enjoy the views through your looking glass! May your looking glass continue to be spiritually correct ~ It is not necessary for it to be optically correct!  EA |

Thanks, JL -- glad you liked it! LeeJ -- believe it or not, Lee. This is what came the day after I had a dream about The Lord's Prayer. In my dream, I was told the mystical meaning of the prayer, but I cannot remember it. The poem really started in my mind being centered around the words "forgive transgressions" and the rest just came. Now that's the rest of the story.....heheheh...jo |
