Abide the Wind I now feast on the Northwest wind, futility, my constant friend, tumultuous, raging deep within and I weep now for what has been. Tranquility achieved, then lost because I couldn�t pay its cost, is thrown away; a stone I tossed Aside. Forsaking all, I chose my way and sought a wisdom I�d obey. I never questioned where it led, albeit truth was never said. There in my castle dream-design the past resides in every line where testimonies, un-benign, Abide.

Abide the Wind I now feast on the Northwest wind, futility, my constant friend, tumultuous, raging deep within and I weep now for what has been. Tranquility achieved, then lost because I couldn’t pay its cost, is thrown away like stones I tossed Aside. Forsaking all, I chose my way and sought a wisdom I’d obey. I never questioned where it led, albeit truth was never said. There in my castle dream-design the past resides in every line where testimonies, un-benign, Abide.

Dear Lou,
It's so wonderful to have 'found' you again! I loved hearing this, and I loved reading it. It has the power to 'sweep me away'- and that's a gift.
Peace to you and yours this Thanksgiving,
Ellen :)
