Slipping ~ Holding on sometimes merely by a thread to keep from falling into the dark abyss not wanting to be lost to its depths sensing that there is hope yet seeing no light. ~ climbing only to fall deeper feeling a sense of warmth from below. ~ why does the light feel so cold ? why does it seem so empty ? can you tell me ? ~ the darkness... like a blanket on my soul warms me.. leads me, tempts me to succumb. ~ I hear it as it whispers "It is quiet here" "there are no worries" ~ Follow my voice... "let me shelter you from the light" "let yourself be lost in all that I am and all that I am not" "let me com

I was born of the banks of the river Jordan, Your hand scooped me up from the rivers edge where the water everflowing kept me supple you laid me upon the wheel, ever turning slowly your gentle touch formed me, shaping my every curve. you lifted me tall yet allowed me to remain open, open to all that lay ahead of me I am a vessel, created by your hand alone I carry in me, both the love you have given, and the loves you have taken away I am overflowing, yet never full I am whole yet never complete I am content, yet always searching ~ You have created me ... with open heart... drawing in the loves.. love of self, love of life, love of anot

Spirit touching spirit... a simple flutter upon my heart unlocked the chains that once bound it. I let you in...
