Notes About The Poem

I Smile

She celebrates love
"And a sword will pierce your heart"
A sure prophecy

And so I can smile
What goes around comes around
there is no escape

Blood of a pierced heart calls out for justice -- may it come swiftly and completely.

I like you believe that justice will come either in this life or the next. There truly is only one escape route and many fail to follow that narrow road.

Smiling before the upcoming realization of the prophecy is a sign of accepting life's lessons! Deep writing, dear Eileen!

Well, I don't believe in Karma. I know some people do, and yet....belief and living the life are two different things, right? ;) Take care, Tim. All the best.

Hey, Kenny. I don't have the answers, but I know that if you break a heart once...you'll probably get yours broken as well....I mean...sometimes things just happen...but being mean and willfully breaking a little heart...now that just ain't nice, is it Kenny??? Hey you...better be good to Miss Boop....She's got a mean streak! :) Huggaroonies

Thank you, Sandra. Of course one would think on first reading this is a reference to Simeon in the temple telling Mary that her joy will turn to sorrow. I've used that reference for another circumstance. Thank you for reading, Sandra. I am remiss in visiting you. I'll be around. Hugs
