Gracious Words.

Book completed; just the finishing touches remain.

I may need some assistance in ensuring I haven’t made any glaring mistakes.  I hate editing!!

Everyday Valentine is nearing completion.

graciouswords:

As the silent world sleeps

‘neath the still of black night,

I search vacant streets

by dim candle light.

With my heart in my hand

I seek others dreams

and hope they can show me

what love really means.

Yet all that I find

betwixt litter and leaves,

are the fragmented remnants

of hope and belief.

So I carry on searching

for that one missing part,

to rebuild my existence

and complete my dear heart.

What is the ideal font size for Lucida Handwriting (easiest to read)?

victim-of-convenience:

A man but in form measures
distance in miles
and depth in how many have drowned
and would fill in the valleys
one stone at a time
just to say he was on even ground
The sage are but fools and
the prophets are false
and each dissenting voice is a liar
and resenting the mountains
he whittles them down
so no other could stand any higher

A man forged in substance and
gracious of nature
who bends like a shadow to dawn
and gathers the echoes of
morning and mourning
to send to the sky like a song
who seeks for the sake of the search
not the finding
and kneels where the many may stand
The frost that he melts with
the fire within
is the truest measure of a man

graciouswords:

Insidious effects of
Tainted emotion
Suppressed and unshared will

Only leave you
Knee deep in self loathing

Take the
Opportunity to bring

Closure and
Release 
Yourself

There is strength to be found even when we are at our most vulnerable.

lessons-in-morbidity:

cozy day in bed-
pungence of burning embers
sequesters sorrow.

“Room for one more”, he 
said, with that look in his eyes
and hand in pocket. 

If so, would you mind sending me a link to the piece?
