in more than words present tense reveals
waste no time as shadows lengthen in the sun

Reflections of the Inner Light
nothing is as it seems
heart strings are played
as if a toy lute
love sinks deep
into the abyss
looking for light

is only a reflection
and cannot be seen

before a storm of drifting snows
icy winds through foreign lands

locked we are into this time
apart from all, the sentence cast!

This is dedicated to ‘sorealtonight’, ‘Angelofsecrets’,
and all the others who are finding their voice through
this medium; The Hopi prophesied that there would be a
web woven through the world in which all people could
communicate.
