The Altar Weeps

Hearts torn asunder the altar of love weeps into mankind's service Venom slinking, seeps O, calm, reign supreme peace, into the home stream voices raised, rising, all is lost Rancor's chorus exacts its cost

I also want calm to "reign supreme" as I figure this is closer to the supreme.

We are instructed seek peace and pursue it showing it must be worked at if we are to grasp hold of it.Enjoyed Mr.Wolf.

Even a little piece of peace would be a start in this crazy world we live in at this time.

So glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, Jennifer. You gave me a scare there! ~ Save the scares for Halloween, ok?

Indeed. I know of a wedding last weekend that was more a sad than happy occasion.
