Stillpoint

The space binding darkness to light, birthplace of visions where souls do not stray in exclusion but congregate wearing the mantle of mercy and peace. Bitter arguments unreconciled, blessings never spoken, angry exchanges left wanting of prompt resolution have no meaning here. All torments are quieted, rumors and lies are forgiven, love and respect take their hold for those children of God who were wandering out in the cold.

Yet another beautiful poem, Keith! I must admit, I may have to read it several times before I fully understand it, however, I completely respect the presentation and words used. No, respect is not enough! I love them! A wonderful piece which I will definitely read over and over again. Also, thank you for your comment on "Plastic Surgery" it is sad how carried away some people get :( Nathaniel

The words you have penned here are truly a thing of beauty to behold. So many wonderful phrases that ring clear with truth. Forgiveness, mercy, respect. If one possess these then love and peace should follow easily. We all need closure. To heal we need closure and the offenses need to stop. Awesome write Keith. Goes to my faves. GBY. Love Robin
