"lost Souls"

Whither wilt thou wander wayfaring wanderer
For Aladdin’s lamp shall well without__ be camped
Thus from whence__ will thine offence__ be quenched 
Not from city’s light will approval be stamped

Wander thus___ ponder___  wayfaring wanderer
For thou shall thus camp by life’s watered roots
Until thine offence shall thus be quenched
Thus thou shall eat leaves and pluck fruits

Healing balm shall thus be in thine own palm
As the healing balm cure shall thus be pure
All fear shall of waters of life be banished 
Sacred light of  holy city be near

A great gnashing teeth of the mind’s belief
The roaring of the lion darkness of time
For Lamb is the light as darkness take flight
Peace as a fleece the lamb lies with the lion

Great write in this one like the spaced thoughts in the first and second quatrain...I especially like the last two lines..What a day...When all God's creatures will once again eat the grass, herbs, nuts, and berries so that there will be no slaughter or violence against another animal or man...Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for the kind words on my works...Sara

I'm working on a crossstitch right now that is a Lion with a Lamb in front of it ... too much syncronicity happening in my life right now ... its strange ... smile ... beautiful write here. I really enjoy the different forms you use ... I seem to be "stuck" in Free Verse at the moment ...

Wander not I sayth the acceptant, But on the course of comet tails I fly. Seest thou not the onynx jewel of darkness in the eye of Lamb or lion? Wander not sayeth I. Accept the cup full and brimming and have no longing for all is gifted thee. If teeth thee have then chew sayth I for it is thine gift. If voice thy have then sing sayeth I for song is thy gift. Let loose the concept of wander and be a doing self.

The Lamb does cast the darkness from our lives and you, my friend, do the same for me. Thanks so much for your encouraging words on "My Spiritual Partner." Chris was my "light" for many years, and remains so in the afterlife. Although I miss him terribly, I know we shall be reunited one day. God bless you for always bringing the spiritual qualities to the forefront. Much love, Carolyn
