"!The Book of Isaiah?"

Astonished!!!


Amid the perplexity of it all....


This surreal moment of how and, why???


As history stood poised to repeat itself


Standing once more at the thresholds 


Dawning, of a different day of light....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"The Book of Isaiah" ~






Note: Smile ~ I came not to taunt! I have no
desire to cause pain, within any light! But those
whom have ears to hear & eyes to see, He said,
then let it be...."Psalm 103, 'Love,' John!":) ~

for help and locating the soul. I am sure you found it and we all get lost and side tracked from time to time and you seemed to have found your way back with this delivery that you just so plastered to the page in all of your brilliance and then there before your eyes was the clarity! EXCELLENT writing John, truely gifted and giving your poetic soul. My Love to you Always and Forever, Your Charlene

John, everytime I read and reread another one of your masterful pieces, you show this place of poetry just how deep the soul can go and you do it always with beauty and style. This is an interesting piece of emotinal proportions looking at your life through a cyber world that carries it's own bullets just waiting to hit you! Trying to separate fantasy from reality and in that time figuring out your own heart and of course a man of such great faith like yourself will turn to the good Lord above

a beautiful journey through the lens of the author, visiting emotions questioned at their very deepest level, that of the heart, and ones response, then realizing its ok to have conflicting emotions, at peace with Our Lord's Plan, as you can see, I love your poem! John, jimbo
