Resignation (page 3)

Mattieu

CoCo, always enjoy reading your posts. Made for a nice Sunday morning read and reflection. Cheers, Mattieu.

Mes cheres, Miss Ann Tropic et Mattieu:

What a pleasant surprise to find comments on my languishing thread! Thanks so much.

It's Saturday here en Californie - a little past 6 o'clock PM. I'm glad it was a pleasurable Sunday morning read, Mattieu. Yes, Miss Ann, the allure, the exhaustion ...

I find contentment in this "resignation" during the autumn of my life. I'm not disconsolate, just accepting of a slower pace and the opportunities it affords me to reflect.

Blessings and peace,

CoCo

Since I don't have you, I conjure up An image that is both real and ideal.

What I do recall is etched in sharp relief, But deeply, in dark caverns of my mind.

The heart is a better well of reminiscence As it draws up an intangible but true past.

A newfound and tranquil corner in me assures That love, though gone missing, was never lost.

Nothing from deep within wells up,
Seeking release through tears,
Cries of pain, fist shaken
Skyward.

Tranquil and accepting am I of all
That has paraded before me,
Now and years leading
To now.

The tears which served to bring me sleep

left dehydration and wrinkles in their wake,

and only groans and soulful sighs remain.

In tranquility and acceptance,

I become numbly complacent.

I welcome the chance to clear my head of
All that clouds thinking and sound judgment.

But a penetrating fog has crept silently, insidiously,
Into my cranial cavities and sabotaged through sheer
Damp and sodden manipulation the workings of all that
Maintained my once promising life on a set course.

She said her god would make my life true and give it meaning.
She offered inspired testimony that caught my emotion and sent
It careering ahead of body and mind, they who eventually followed,
Albeit with no little demurring.

I followed her into the sanctuary, the holy of holies, and felt sadness that
Those poor and pitiable loved ones left behind should be so blind not to see our truth ...

Those telling the truth are an army of large women ... larger than life and greater still in death.

Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. (revelation 6:14)

A visually arresting scenario, Michelle! Thanks for this addition.

Maintained my once promising life on a set course."

(and so)...I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and my elders breathed their last in the city, while they sought food to restore THEIR life. (lamentations 1:19)

love *zion*...
