seeking inner harmony...one pauses to reflect upon the physical and spiritual world...suspended...and with sacrifice accepts change.

The Hanged Man Sitting on top of a hill in the city... Windy and lonesome and feeling self-pity. The sun is up shining the time is high noon... Feelin two faces brought on by the moon. A man sits and wonders his fate that is cast... Of how long the pain in his blue heart must last. A being who knows of his time and his space... Who foresees a future he cannot erase. Compassion and suffering his body does show... A life traveling fast and a death moving slow. He sings of a time when his spirit will be... One not of blue notes but one that is free. He has tried to live life the best that he can... Death will come soon for he is the hanged man. � 1975 Copyrights of John W Leko All Rights Reserved

"A being who knows
of his time and his space...
Who foresees a future
he cannot erase"

This verse reminds me of Macia Miller-Twiford's "Halls of time" love it!

Everyone has the same path...we will reach the end of the noose when life closes the door here within this place...yet there is more to life than just this world...

Spiritual harmony is elusive...

The more treasured things become apparent when hanging there with the last minutes. Life is simpler for those who treasure small details.

Life compended on a Tarot card, a selfpity solution to a weak life question, all put wonderfully together in a poem with words getting brownish with age but anyway, unforgetables.
Excellent!

We must not forget that there is life after death.

Yet with death can come rebirth in the spiritual sense: for our senses can be so tuned when we are at the edge of that Abyss.
