The How of Soap From the charcoal of old springs Lies the soap of many things It washes down the skin of ire And cleans to white lost gray desire An oddity but is quite true That rain and charcoal make this brew And I have used this soap of pride To wash the echoes from my hide I use this source of nature’s power Scent it with a flowers dower Wash the spirits of past play Cleanse the rue of yesterday An ancient recipe my friend It brings within a better end A bath that washes skin and sin From without and from within It may not bring you to the door But surely cleans your inner core |

Enjoyed this a bunch, Sy. One of the things I remember when going to Grandma's house was her lye soap. Oh my goodness-sandpaper soap it was! If anything could clean sin away, it surely could!!! Enjoyed. Thanks for bringing back those memories. The nice thing about that soap is that it removed the old and dying skin, leaving the new skin in its place. miscellanea |

Wash the spirits of past play Cleanse the rue of yesterday This sounds like a far better choice than my wallowing. *S* I like this very much, dear friend. *S* |
