Transcendental Sonnet #1219:
Faith and Love Embrace

Something half-forgotten has taken place
While I was sleeping
The sky stopped weeping

The angry storm by gentle winds of grace
And by persistence
Blown out of the sky

The sun has returned with a smiling face
With no resistance
With no answer why
The storm had no choice but to slink away

Around me now there breathes a shining day
And deep inside me
I feel hope to be
Conceived as I see faith and love embrace

I liked this, it was pretty, and finding faith and love is always a good thing.

Thanks, Mandy.

Your words mean a lot to me...

...more than you know, I bet.

I got so damn depressed, took too many Valiums and slept all day; when I woke up it had finally stopped raining... and it seemed like it had been raining forever.

I figure maybe there's hope? I hope so.

God, I could use some hope.

+Goofball,

Spectacular imagery! A grand poem of poems. It is good to see you doing well. Have not seen any activity on my site since I had the error that erased the open poetry posts. I have a new member but no posts as of yet. I am optimistic though. Haven't seen Kandi since before X-Mas on there, I don't believe. Everyone fell off the edge of the planet. None of the old garbage has been there. Things are looking good. Good to see you bouncing back to your old self, my friend. I will continue to keep you and Silke in my prayers.

Super K

I love that name, "Super K."

I swear to God, you really ARE super.

Why can't there be more people like you in this damned-fool world?

Hell, you make me realize that it doesn't matter what a person's politics are, not really...

Not when they're someone like you.

Somebody sure did raise you right; whether it was your parents, the USMC, or both, my hat's off to 'em.

God bless you, man.
