The world heaves and sighs Mountains are drowned in the sea New mountains are created A forest grows thick on the mountain Dies in a firery birth A new forest emerges Prophets are born to seed the earth and die seeding generations New prophets are born The earth quakes and continents break New continents are born The stars burn out and fade to ash New stars and planets are born We are born in pain and we die in pain To be born again in the pain of knowing Our hearts are the earth's molten core To crack and crumble or melt into one The world within us heaves and sighs... (c) Linda Gayton 2005

The ever circling cycles of life, sometimes dizzying, other times comforting, for all things pass, even those we barely bare, but also those we long to hold... and in all these cycles, learning, and reaching for light.

We are born in pain and we die in pain
To be born again in the pain of knowing

This is... a powerful... powerful statement... the spiritual foundation of Christianity is one of pain, but to be born again in the pain of knowing, a very unique way of looking... ahead

excellent write,
Dave

The complexity of the Beautiful drawing depicts the world within each of us. And your Beautiful POEM puts the words to it for me. Thank you, I thank God for your gift to write.

Deeply irresistable drawing the reader in with each line to climax in the last few lines...

And yet what changes in all this rebirth when in the end the earth heaves and sighs and all is born anew. Splendid depth and rich in all its colors.

There are many worlds in our existence, There are many feelings that live in our hearts, The sad thing is that they are all reborn. Think of how wonderful our lives would be if we only allowed the good ones to live. And yes "The world within us heaves and sighs" everyday. Wonderful insight. Pierre.
