knowledge

Truth doesn't always shine
in the rise of dawn

Nor in the smile of innocence

It doesn't light up
in the beauty of a new bud

nor reside in the purity of my heart

It sometimes crawl
in the shadows of the dark

sits in the tirade of time

dance in bitterness of disappointments

And from my sanity it runs.

My discovery
of your brutal and selfish world
is killing me.

A beautiful read Phyllis, may your heart find peace.

Every thing works out for the better and opens new doors for new adventures, even though we tend to not see it right away. Phyllis dear one, life is so full of sadness but the sadness only makes us cherish the wonderful, good things in life unless we discard them and only allow our life to be marinated in the sad things.

Knowledge and truth...sometimes are painful....our own ideas/dreams get in the way of what is really there. Here is the chance to learn of the truth of self...the knowledge that you can endure and rise above...that can become the most important truth.
