Behind the smile that seem to paste itself on her lips
is a mind as turbulent as the sea
Like waves that smash the shorelines
Her thoughts often goad her heart
Squeezing, tormenting, crashing...
Dreams that seem as vast as the endless skies
Often make her confused mind wonder
Are those dreams hers?
Os is she just a surrogate dreamer
For someone else's dream that manage to come true ?
She tries to think on a different perspective
Like a mirror
Where there is clarity and certainty
Yet she can find nothing but
Just one thing: The smile on her face.

Our moods are established by a frown or smile Sheri. More often than not they precede our emotional set rather than reflect was has been. Mirror of clarity or not, wear the smile that is always present within the human spirit my dear friend. A smile is the countenance that adorns human triumph. A great deal of introspection and worldly wisdom here Sheri. Aloha my dear friend. Jon Michael
Very well done pice of prose my freind, your self reflective spirit is alive and delving into ideas and thoughts we all need to explore from time to time. Nice..

A ring of incredible power, a once noble crusade turned sour, and a supernatural storm that could change the heavens forever: J. M. Kelly's Fire of God takes a unique and exciting look at the Old & New Testament, as he chronicles the life of Joseph
An ex-soldier, now turned farmer, wakes one day to find mysterious marks on his hands and wrists. All seems well until black riders appear and kidnap his family. On his journey to recover his lost loved ones and to discover the meaning of the strange
