~beyond the Mystery~

"Behold, I tell you a mystery...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Within these searching winds Of paradisiacals paradise A treasure~ That not even the world, itself Could ever hold! What words could I etch Into these plastered walls? If merely but for a moment I shall lay aside, this gazing sword Placing deciduous' darkling Within its vile.... Stretching forth hands, which envelope These wonders before my soul~ Astonishingly brilliant splendors, of Saturnalias' true Requiem.... Those, that not even Heaven itself Has yet, to fully behold! But amid only these glimpses; glimmering These sparkling reflections.... Of whom the brightest of the stars, themselves Could have scarely told~ What words shall I etch Into these plastered walls? If merely, but for a moment I can, help them all to see ............Within............ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Twinkling of An Eye!

John, as always, your imagery is stunning! The example that you set and the goodness of your heart sheds light and shows us the brightness of Christs love that is there. Your words are always reaching out to reveal the glory of God for all who will listen. Thank you for your kind words and support, my friend! (Col. 2:2-3) Love always, Robin

I meant, I did not want to hurt your feelings by telling you what I just did. And no, thid is not truly goodbye, i just hope that in the future you would not be so quick to think what I wrote is about you, as unless I write something as a dedication,I simply do not write about soupers. also, never in a million years would I ever write something anti-christ! Never! I still cannot beleiev you thought that I could. I have ALOT going on in my life right now, and do not need any more stress,thats all

Hey there, John. Honestly, it is because you tend to take my poetry the wrong way, then email me about it berating me, and I am just tired of defending myself. I'm sorry, I just feel like you will always do this, and I just feel like I have to sensor my poetry now, as to what you will yell at me about! I cannot deal with that. You are a good guy,I feel, but you must be considerate of others feelings, and think before you speak.I have also been avoiding you as I did not want to hurt your feelings
