Solar Eclipse

A world without sun Just a halo gleams on sea People with faith know Not all that exists is seen Obscured, but the light remains

Beautiful I can see this so well. "Not all that exist is seen" I believe that with all my heart. Wonderful piece! Thank you for your kind comment on my poem 'Liberty and Freedom" Unfortunately I am one of the many waiting women. That poem is especially personal to me right now, Its exactly what I'm going through. But I have faith in the unseen that all Will be well. Ashley

refuse to believe in, however, let them lose what that dollar can by and God is the first thing they blame. How can you blame in that which you do not believe? I wrote a very interesting 2,500 word essay on this very subject not to long ago. Sorry to have rambled, YF4L, God Bless, mj

Carolyn, Loved the truth in this poem. I believe that, which we can see, feel, and touch is illusion. That, which we cannot see, feel, and touch is everything that is truly real. For example, because people can hold a dollar in their hand they believe it to be real. The reality is that dollar is worth about .04 compared to what it would by 100 years. However, since they can hold in their hand they believe it to be a dollar. At the same time faith, which they can't see, feel, and touch they
