Draped In a Lavender Light

I wore fear like a winding sheet, leaving behind trails of dead dreams I held hope in my hands and weeping, it slid through my fingers evaporating to naught I undulated to music praying for redemption within the passage, I was left bereft, still, taciturn but by relinquishing velleity into the firmament, and smashing my glass heart for the loves' of my life I've begun to believe in miracles again, I am finding the way that comforts my soul A shimmering lavender light, shines with serenity burns out the fear and builds a blaze of hope, by loving without doubt the whips of regret are now unmoving fires have been stoked, this mystery now has élan I am flesh, reborn out and into this life, once again.

Miss Jayne, you sure ain't lost your writing mind either. Another classic reading from my eyes. I'd be honoured to enter the first letter to live to the last, James :) xx

Just perfect a fav & a 7 ;) Loosing fear I step out into the wider world: tea on from the rooftop cabarets in Kathmandu- within the stucco walls of an old Buddhist monastery; I danced with scarfs and drums- Trusting in my own power: I smoked a hookah with an Arab sheik in a palace hotel in Cairo - Realizing that we make our own miracles on the arm of a young man I climbed Machu Piccu- One should not live to reset ... Light & Love your friend and a fan
