...and be it affirmed... Flower of Faith


this night be it dark
quivering roots of despair
take not hold
spirit spirit awaken
bequeathed I to the light
this radiant bloom
flower of faith be known.

the dark swirls of passionate hope thrill me. I am captured in the movement toward light while blinded in the darkness of faith's wonder - your words and image fold into dark despair and still there is the light of hope. Such is life./
Love to you
Gail
peace.....

Dearest Gail, as news is reported, as personal challenge takes hold, we are ever the gardener's to cultivate our 'flower of faith.' Yes, dear friend, "Such is life.."

Much love,
Rose Marie
