The cresting that comes and wanes... <br />Does not fade within a heart, <br />That has felt the gift of Sun! <br />It remains and not falters... <br />To sparkle bright and reflect, <br />Upon those who witnessed... <br />And accepted a change that has occured. <br />Nothing remains to sustain an intensity given. <br />It is an experience to be collected. <br />Shared and remembered for what it is. <br />Not to be held to define one's greatness. <br />Attempting to achieve a stability that keeps evolving... <br />Results in defeat and overwhelming conflict! <br /> <br />Nothing remains to sustain an intensity given. <br />It is an experience to be collected. <br />Shared and remembered for what it is. <br />And passed on. <br />But some with greed would like to perceive, <br />With beliefs worshipped and symbolized! <br />That this giving done is of their own creation! <br />And they can not let it go. <br />Like a leaf refusing to fall from the tree of its life. <br />Remembering what it was. <br />And not accepting this process that moves on!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
