       stitches that mend mankind's foibles.
The very breath of life contained in a phrase.

Você,

finalização: 
agora, 
fique de pé
e continue.

A tarefa 
é árdua, 
mas é tempo

Maybe I’ll remember,
 maybe you will too

Maybe once it mattered,
  maybe more to whom

Maybe this will lessen,
  maybe it will salve

Maybe there’s forgiveness,
  maybe—maybe not

Ron has a potion, he calls it Magic Salve,
just rub it on, and it burns like, wow.
Now he really says, this stuff works,
rub it on, right where it hurts.
Ron are you kidding, or is this real,
send me a truck load, if it's the real deal....

was both talented& able

Breaking free from regret and fear,
I will arise, my spirit soar,
and to the grace of God draw near.

To share with those who do not have,
a hug, a smile, a loaf of bread,
and words of hope, a healing salve.

Escuro e Claro 

O amor deste mundo é a escuridão, 
e o carinho
a gratidão 
é a sua lâmpada. 

O mal caráter é escuridão 
e sua lâmpada é arrependimento. 

Algumas pessoas dizem:
 "Salve-se e salve seus caminhos".

 Eu digo: 
'Seja você mesmo e salve sua lâmpada...

she leapt too fast,
bruising her vena amoris.
soulmate rubbed salve upon the wounded finger
with a covenant kiss.

One has a salve that cures everything,
another has pecans, more than he ever dreamed,
then another has soap he makes from mud,
beautiful complexion, when on your face it is rubbed.
They are all my friends, that I have never met,
right here on the Soup, my friends are the best....

No words to mend,
Hell's lack of moderation. 
No salve to cool, 
This fire’s damnation. 
No drink to drown, 
This love's dying thirst. 
No breeze to blow, 
Away this wretched curse. 
No passion to hold to, 
Through days so trying. 
No voice to scream 
But inside I'm dying!!...

Truth is the silent  word of knowledge
Away from mankind's destructive ways
The inner peace where one will learn
The labyrithine deepness of the soul
There is where refiners power flows for all
Still mankind searches it out in wars?
While the healing for all Nations
Comes from the salve within!...

“Blood is thicker than water,
what we had thicker than blood”

All wounds long healed by memory’s salve,
divined from up above

Our bonding copper wire,
wrapped round a thousand times

Till fortune gets down on both knees,
and bows—our soul’s conjoined


(Listening To Bob Weir: March, 2020)...

Of Singular Importance

The clarity of your words,
   the purity of your heart
       —the release of your soul

I cover my wounds with a soothing salve
That lessens the pain in its testing path
But it will not take the wound away
For it may heal over to a scar in its way

You may rejoice in passing through
A trial in what it does to you
Heed not the trial as it is made
But what is learnt in each escapade.
