AND if the lost made their return from soil to land and within your life would you -- could you -- accept them back From death to dust and an urn? Surely first the shock and disbelief maybe a hug if you dared -- could you? And all the adjustments you made -- evaporate! The new lover, what say to them -- who replaced the gaping hole within your heart? A new baby but not from him -- what then? the possibilities of a Return, some sweet but mostly a hidden poison -- you think secretly. But in the end (their end) sprang a new possibility! You live your life as best you can. Especially when a lost is much to bear and you pray -- leave the lost within the ground ...sweet love sleep sweetly unto the Light! :: 01132016 ::
