I did not misinterpret the thunder of your words
I chose to stand before them, abysmal in the surge
As strength is not a shield, nor courage a sword
Blown to particles of dust never more everything
So small the chime of invisible fracture

And though love has the capacity of it’s own universe
There to never knit finds the infinite prophecy
Filling void that far again outweighs what was
And for all that I do not know, the sea is deep
Where peace finds homage at the bottom of the glass

And heavy enough the treasure to be found still

Oh dear Lord,  what has she wrought?

Oh K.  this is beyond words or speech.
Maybe I am just being an old puss...

So many words that just leap out at you
and pull...

You are so right in that love does find the capacity of it's own universe ... it creates it and stretches it beyond possibilities.  You see much and share it wonderfully and here is wishing that you always find wine in your goblet of life.

do not know, the sea is deep
Where peace finds homage at the bottom of the glass

exactly!! where all finds resolution and serenity
in her respite

good stuff here, TD!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
