Our Heavenly Fodder

There is a sadness personified
rubbing at my core,
that robs me of my harmony

and voids me of true peace
because of the way that others, care.

Therefore, I am grateful for THIS interlude
that awes me with it's friendship,
and brings into my life, Light.

So, I readily welcome
it's universal embodiment,

that keeps no task-log,
and knows no earthly bounds.
It has been often said

that a cold-hearted orb rules the shadows of the night,
and that daylight possesses the Universe's grace;

two schools of thought come into mind.
If Night rules Fate, then shadows are royalty
leaving Daylight the one to deceive

and when the truth is discerned,
it won't be as cut and dried as Good versus Evil.

For we'll all be but a victim of collateral damage
pressing ever onward,
towards the vista of our ill-content,

where we're known to dawdle
in the laps of our concerns.

Looking forward
I can only hope reality will yield
what's just inside the aspects of our dreams,

and that allegiance to those shared dream realms
will prove to be, universal.

Doc this is a powerful write

Doc this is a powerful write ... I would only make one suggestion For we’ll all be but a victim of collateral damage pressing ever onward, towards the vista of our ill-content, where we’re known to dawdle in the laps of our concerns. I would loose the gap between those two pieces ... but thats just... others may not agree ... wonderful write ... insightful and touching on the profound love and hugs Jayne x x x

Thanx, Jayne....

...I can kinda see what you mean, but I kept writing the piece in that same "line-layout"...part of my personal awkwardness at this style. Thanx again, for the comment. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.
