Those responsibility A man gains Bearing sensibility. Inside the rain, Has got his ability! Soft gentle hands, Got them to pawn. Changing the books, Also about the pen, Beneathing piercing hook!

HEARTS of gold will melt in the heat of scorn n'pride, where greed is born. hearts of stone feel no pain, loss, nor happiness again. numb to sorrow but also peace... imprisoned in stone with no release. a heart of lead, so heavy with poison, with bitterness, regret, weighing you down into the dark~ into depths to drown. a heart of clay will grow stronger in the oven...

From her sacred heart blooms a flowered essence anointed in sapience and love ; Insightful, as the rain from God's parapet this cloistered soul rings true only for the Maker's open hand. Touched by His Grace, he has created "The Mystic " in her, from a lump of wet clay to Sacred...

The Tapestry of Leaves Michael R. Burch Leaves unfold as life is sold or bartered, for a moment in the sun. The interchange of lives is strange: what reason—life—when death leaves all undone? O, earthly son when rest is won and wrested from this ground, then through my clay's soft mortal soot thrust forth your root until your leaves embrace the sun's bright rays. The Long Days Lengthening Into...
