A tomb’s cry fell silent upon the eve of night as dawn walked quietly through the window, lightly touching the sill before falling beyond the edge of darkness. If only I could feel that which was seen and not heard. If only the cry of dawn’s cracking were not but a stifled symphony. There, beyond the earth’s fiery edge, far into the cosmos where galactic winds blow cold...where the constellations loom ominously...that sacred place where few have ever touched the mighty hand of God... It is there that life looms perilously upon the precipice. And, when life is but a whispered remains, let the winds blow quietly upon the brows of those who stand above that which was or ever will be.... |

As always, Magnus, your writing leaves me without breath.  Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

Eternity is caught in your words, "all that was or ever will be." Does life just blow away upon the wind, or does God stay his hand for us with, "Peace, be still!" ? Klassy |
