“Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.” ~Terry Pratchett~ Reaper Man

verse
to still
a mind
calm a heart
lost in forest
set apart
by secrets known
to but few
the many
cannot know
but do
in ignorance
believe
love will come
and reprieve
the darkened soul
bring to light
the grail
and make the forest bright
and grass will grow
be green again
and we can sit
take our ease
on forest edge
in sacred grove
where only love
the secret knows.

P.s. I forgot to add my name. I always forget to sign what I write.
the darkness will be kept at bay, like a cross or garlic to a vampire. Also, you don’t invite it in no matter how powerful you feel it is or what kind of manipulation it tries to pull on you. I keep searching for the light when I feel that it will not come I am always proven wrong when the light does arrive.
I’ll add your name for you. I was very surprised to see your comments this morning. it is just a few minutes after noon. my hands are shaking. it is difficult to type. last night was pretty bad. I fought as hard as I could. i made it to today. before going to sleep i wrote 9 haiku poems. the one i wrote on the Plum Tree Group page was actually more focusing on what was underneath the surface. in private i will tell you what i saw in it. i tried to keep you in my mind so i wouldn’t drown. it was too close last night. i’m not sure what to do. i see D… today plus John & Dr.H…So full day of Doctors. I will try to get in touch with you.
I love it!
Thank you. I was surprised when I found the music video. The song is amazing, the lyrics speak to me and the light show is such an element of surprise. It’s the forest & haiku that bring out the scariness. It all blends for me.:-)
You are generous, jennifer. Such generosity comes from a warm and light-filled heart!
You fill me up with your good and kind heart, it enables me to be strong. The warmth and light come from love that I have learned from special people I have met through my life. Someone very special in my life now who has brought me into her world and she is part of mine, helps to free up what depth I find inside of myself, so that I am able to feel the warmth and to fill my heart with the light so that I am able to share it with others. Thank you for your kind words.
At the end of the day, it is all we have.
I need those kind words to echo inside my head spoken from you, to hear the sound of your voice, That is what I need more than anything right now. Can I beleive that it will happen? I want it to happen. That I can say truthfully. It is all we have. J.K.
