On the seismograph of love the aftershock of life registers a tremor, shake, throughout immortal lands and on this graph, dot, dot, dot, dot, the heart of all mankind the core and epicenter of this destructive mode. Fine-tuned to overthrow the sinking holes of soul unadulterated energy emerges from the shadows, a force well equipped to fill in the dips and make from rough the smooth. Though I know and though I feel, though I see and can imagine, time takes me to the final end a woman scared of me, an essential contributor of cracks and consternation. So this is me and this is you, earthquakes for the free, and all who wait for peace and grace should know, feel, see, imagine, the shaky ground of other lands … but, excuse me, that’s for then and one crack, two cracks, three, or more, still brings me back as once before. But from the rubble of the “don’t care” I cannot know or feel or see what emerges from the shadows … but, excuse me, I imagine, I can indeed imagine! Helen / 11 December 2005 |

It IS very hard to believe that some just won't care... but for those that do? God blesses you.  Lady . |

Thank you all for the read. I sometimes wonder what's out there or, indeed, if anything at all. Trouble is that when I do find out, I won't be able to tell anyone. |

Oh, but I do believe you do see beyond right now. Maybe the cracks bring you back, but it brings you back to a larger version of yourself. Love this poem, Helen. Be well. .....jo |

Oh, no, Jo! Not larger - I'm battling the bulge as it is.  But I do, of course, know what you mean. One wanders in the wilderness but there's always someone to lead one out. Thank you! May your festive season be bright and merry. |
