Need calls the poor to the feet of the rich but don’t forget once they were lovers in love proud to own something that cannot be bought or bartered and sold for trinkets and gold. Risen from then up into these times the poor acquire fame and candles that burn through the storms and the pain, the agony, of life as it is for the lovers alone. And the rich getting old deserve their gold because always we get only what we can give but you know that, of course, one time you were told, “Love is more precious than any man’s gold”. It’s heavy, you see, and can’t leave the earth and always, forever, it’s no use in heaven! Helen / 21 December 2005 |

This had the subtle tone and wisdom of a fable. Beautifully told.  Linda |
