"The Face of Man..." -colab Laury and Chris

 

 

·I awoke this morning -

 

·followed the sunrise with painted thoughts


and found I didn't wonder anymore

 

·the wheres I'd been - nor the whys.

 

·All the eyes crusted dry with life dust

 

·stared

 

·through my window

 

·my "glass"

 

·into

 

my world

 

my life

 

·into me...

 

·forming not a picture within the painted lines,

 

·but rather a collage if one may of colored thoughts ,

 

·albeit by the blood red running thru ,

 

·and over their panes to my soul

 

·defining Me as not so much as an absence of living,

 

·But an awakening of a thought in a

·Mind of transition

 

·I still see each memory

 

·...and now as the breath slowly trundles ,

 

·forth

 

·the echoes flow and float -


above, below

 

·...through and through -- each whisper shouts

 

·another name and place

 

·another where I'm from

 

·a time, a day, a way, a life begun and lost

 

·an end awaiting the face of God

 

·...the touch of

·peace ...

·we never knew.

·

·Remembrances ,

 

· The ins and outs,

 

· So many forevers and doubts

 

·How it now reveals

 

 

Walked Hand in Hand .,

 

 

the many paths less trod,

 

 

passing quietly , never looking back,

 

on the one less traveled beside.

Waiting and wishing .. with a wandering mind .. and numb feet .. ..

Listening .. as the deafness nears ...

Two brilliant minds working both sides of the pen. I know you both fairly well...so I can say I felt both of you equally when reading this fine piece of art. The path of self-reflection...it all leads to the same place. A place of hope. Peace is at the end of the tunnel for those the seek it...for the rest. God bless their souls....
