It stands between a rock and I This universe that dwells within This light encompasses a darkening cloud Concealed within its aching heart!.

The setting soon heralds the coming moon He beckons a reckoning and it is done The light blinds with awesome splendour A warm sepia beneath an autumnal night!. Fragrant air scented with spiced wine A cooling breeze chases away lurking shadows Life is here and days pass by It is life, the living and breath of life !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I can only judge by how I feel when I read it!.
