Eyes of the old soul drawn upward, unblinking - dark as coal
wise in wonder the future foretold~
smothered by:
the blue haze of acid rain
the maze of societies' prejudice
e'er seeking justice
orphaned by:
apathy, greed, neglect; commonalities creed -
destiny to embrace Providence and her seed
e'er patience & wisdom gifted to each kingdom
keeper & champion:
to the earth's ravines as all its creatures seek
her hem of refuge
e'er her heartbeat of hope - innocence her sustenance

Love, Peace, Joy, Blessings, Wisdom,
To You and Yours

Stomach problems indicate ...
sensitive soul. Honestly! I get spasms because I am forever becoming others with their problems ... I think I will die of a broken heart or a stomach ripped apart ... Please take care of you. Try to sip healthy liquids. Do NOT eat too much starch and bananas ... those are killers for me.
