The damsel of despair entreats
her favors on the wretched of the world.
She unleashes deceiption and ruthlessness
without option. A shrew of disgust...
(Hope)
Hope fashions no prisoners.
Silently offering a path of truth
and benevolence she provides energy
to those who seek resolution.
(Despair)
The matriarch of vindictiveness
never patronizes her unsuspecting victims.
Shrouds of gray mask the ghastly
image of the voracious intruder.
(Hope)
There is no greyness to overcome.
Radiance and light produce rainbows
of auras in majestical awe.
Even the night shows no remorse.
(Despair)
The crone is not appeased until
she can bathe in a sea of darkness.
Destruction of the body and soul
is evils breath and sustenance.
(Hope)
All that is good keeps vigil
and becomes the guardian of life.
The promises of new tomorrows
are no longer only words. They are reality.
Paul
This is superb
All that is good keeps vigil
and becomes the guardian of life.
The promises of new tomorrows
are no longer only words. They are reality"
Yes enjoy the weekend see you monday morning {{SMILES}}
