Chasm

Shine not tonight moon
Garden blooms spray no bouquet
Night wind no dancing -

Let tears just flow by my bed
Fill this chasm 'tween me and death.

Beautiful in its sadness, my dear Daughter of the Moon. May not only tears, but also smile and laughter, fill the chasm between us and death. As we journey through life, I've found that only those who have shed the saddest tears can ever have the happiest of laughter. Here's to a colorful life ahead, O Daughter of the Moon. May you fully feel each moment of time, that you'll have a great story to tell upon reaching the other bank. A 7! Hugs and smiles. :D Kim

Yes, dear Kim, that is our greatest hope! Thank you. We do not shun tears..we taste it, bathe in it even, for we know it will make us appreciate more the "little" things in life. Let us weave beautiful stories! Hugs and smiles back!!
