House of Marble

House of Marble Porcelain glass Glance toward the mirror At life, as it pass Visions appear Though shadows they'll fade All, most all Share a masquerade Rivers of turquoise Mountains of gold Towering rainbows What do they hold? What was? What is? What may someday be? In these, could you find Your destiny? House of Marble Crystalline glass Glance toward the window ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At life, see it pass!?

I can never know what is written on my palms,but I know that God loved me and He knew my name from before I was born,so I trust my life in his hands,I live day by day and watch the shadows which sadden the heart fade,they fade,everytime I watch a rainbow,the gold höneyed sun reflecting warmth on an icy mountain,I watch the sea,the trees,hear the birds,then i read my friends,and through crystalline glass,i see beauty!great title and poem,tmfvs JOHN-C.C

through a marble, you'll find your true destiny. sounds spiritual to me, in many ways. if that was your idea, John.then it was a great one, and much wonder within it. ~Always&Forever Lynette

I don't really believe in destiny..I think that everyone makes their own destiny through the decisions they make. You'll never find all the answers you seek in this life and I guess it's better that way. Kisses, Emily

Life indeed passes by as curiousity overtakes and we look for answers in the wrong places. Great insight! You rock! Totally! Peace and love, Audrey
