"eyes opening wide"

I am the one who chose......
to hide my eyes behind a rose
and live each day beside in verse
until I fill an empty hearse
Then came the ones who opened me
and showed my love that I could be
by working hard amidst my pain
to find its shelter in its reign
I'd woven tight but still I tried
among the others who'd denied
to build new bridge's o'er the gaps
and watch false idols all collapse
I wrestled time and time again
to forge a waxing from a wane
and see my universe expand
from all my castles built in sand
Slowly thus I readjust
and using love remove my rust
exposing something so divine
I cannot help but let it shine

Thankyou one and all. Your comments warm old wolfie's heart.

Yes Silver, these two beautiful souls are the mainstay of my personal reflection though I am but one of their many. The younger is the mother of four of "our" children. They represent many aspects of each of us...and in time will know this as well.

bear is the 'medicine' Danee...the self-learned/earned healer. It takes one to know one.
