"You’re It, The Secret"
Inside you a whole new world Outside You … exist Outside the game is ‘resist’ such an anxious world the questions forever pressing on You wanting answers your gardens soiled and turned new seeds for blooming planted your muddied waters become in your mind a luke-warm conundrum discovered clear through the Consomme Inside breathes freedom I Am holds it all seen by few seen by some a true gift in open hands a bridge for you to walk without fear, firm ... you make your stand "Just" - as in music the heart lifts... in You, eventually Evanescence the mirage disappears opening a door to a new, strange land whenever you meet a Ghost, don't run away Walk straight through the Ghost and it will disappear before you there remains the true path It exists and It is very clear (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) gvlm/llb
"No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle." “Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.” Alan Watts
1. bridge A musical bridge is a passage of music that contrasts the verse and the chorus, and is generally used to take the listener from one section to the next. In most popular western music, the bridge is usually found after the second chorus, and transitions into the last chorus. 2. bridge What is Bridge in simple words? 1a : a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle (such as a river) a bridge connecting the island to the mainland. 1b : a time, place, or means of connection or transition building a bridge between the two cultures the bridge from war to peace. "At the end, the final chapter, the last thought is of LOVE. It is only of Love, and all its guises, its faces we have faced and walked away from, and that we must face again... to do a full circle, to move forward to the entry gate. Without Love, the key will not turn the door to the dream, that we all push aside. Love is the "token" one must offer to move through...that door."

I so needed to read this magnificent poem you have gifted my friend. *Its message this heart found as gold *Its truth a beauty to behold *That Life and Love are the sweet gifts * Holding lifeline when dark world shifts * To destroy happiness and hope * Setting one in blindness to grope * To find that only love's touch holds * Blessings born to new life embold. A fav...

My daughter and I have this uncanny thing happening called telepathy. All good V.S.A.S. This is a poem about "Love".... I have written the poem, with certain people in my mind - but it is a poem with a message, for whoever "needs" to see it, and understands what I am delivering. x

“What we have forgotten is that thoughts and words are conventions, and that it is fatal to take conventions too seriously. A convention is a social convenience, as, for example, money ... but it is absurd to take money too seriously, to confuse it with real wealth ... In somewhat the same way, thoughts, ideas and words are "coins" for real things.”
