Lonely begets forgiveness Suggesting discernment With hints of sarcasm making small talk Night lights and recovery groups Little musketeer angels appear Like cabbies in New York Getting the message clear Telepathy murmurings Infusing encouragement Out stretched hands with bear like paws Like a great mural on the ceiling of God Parade sirens shifting clarification to peace Speaking in broken English A wisdom much greater then my own I surrender to the darkness Giving God an automatic “Thumbs Up” I’m wondering what happens When he says…”That’s It” Are there ATM machines there, in heaven? Ignoring two years of experience Working in Repossessions I’m self-assured Any experience, ignores that permanent Silent print on the heart… Whispering my name Almost too good to be true The quiet echoes of ghosts Conquering all fears |

ah, I was contemplating heaven just this morning, wondering how, given man's penchant for misdeeds, all would be heavenly there? i enjoy your use of metaphors, and though i know i do not catch all the meanings, still, your words speak to me and i love the feel of their tumble across my tongue Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

very powerful, complexity of writing against the seeming simplicity of the title is a great contrast enjoyed |

"The quiet echoes of ghosts Conquering all fears" - I guess they try their best. We just can't hear them most times. Your writing takes the reader on amazing and complex journeys. Thank you for sharing your gift. |
