 Don’t let the Embers Burn Out… And so the horridscopery of my very own periphery trusted me into my day and I thought no, this is not me, this is just a fallacy, for no one would treat me this way… but someone wants to blow and blow and let the me of me let go to find a wind that takes my sin and all of me away… but I am here to stay… or so my horridscope doth say… be the strongest dynamo and so I work and so I grow and life is worth it, tell me so, and if it ain’t, then I don’t want to know… But if I were to take and cut a simple word from hence the nut don’t let the embers burn… How dis-enchanted I might be and how stilled the loose might be how placid then my life would be… should I not let the embers burn… but OUT it said, so I put it in and let my emotions take a spin to keep the flames red hot and then, I shall blow on them again… not a harsher type of blow, but one of heat from one that knows that gentle gets one all the best… this is how I’ve passed the tests… so see the embers glow so bright and twigs to enhance a moonlit night albeit the snow is blowing and cold skies are gray I must keep the embers, must keep them more, just one more day… ….the ancient man he held a trick of taking fire from stick to stick and walking earth with embers, warm… the ancient man… did his mind swarm with all the things we think we need when hearth and fire and food is seed for all that might hold on to life… yet he took to him an engaging wife… no need for ceremony, “you are mine” in signals sans any pantomime and thus it began, simple, and clear, no need of horridscopes, my dear… just a signal, and passing of trust, a bit of wrapped embers that must be carried on, from life, to life… do not let the fire go out… do not let the embers burn out… keep the faith in all that be… no matter the horoscope for you, or me. ~*~ P.S...if anyone thought this was too long...blame serenity...she got me going.... and thank you very much for getting to this very last line...  Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Oh shure...blame your ability to enchant us at length on someone else. I don't think so! This is an especially telling write. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

"yet he took to him an engaging wife… no need for ceremony, “you are mine” in signals sans any pantomime and thus it began, simple, and clear, no need of horridscopes, my dear…" nope not too long at all....the flow is fantastic and I was hooked from the first to the last  |

It was quite an amusing and inspiring trip from first to last - and I love the description of horridscope -  Enjoyed this - Susan Every action generates a force that returns to us in like kind . . . let us choose compassion and love |

just a signal, and passing of trust, a bit of wrapped embers that must be carried on, from life, to life… do not let the fire go out… do not let the embers burn out… keep the faith in all that be… no matter the horoscope for you, or me. The length was in perfect harmony with the message you conveyed ... do not let the embers burn out No, I won't. Very captivating. Love, Margherita |

“keep the faith in all that be… no matter the horoscope for you, or me.” Copy that good-buddy! (I can’t believe that came to mind as I read this). Incredible write Sunshine. JL |
