I hear whispers from afar
Echoing via the great southern star
I have my inner qualms
Amongst today’s tall palms
Do they know how the wind blows
How do they stop the spots that flow
Slow and fast
I’m living my fate
My time will have to wait
Best I not be late
I do have a willing heart
Following the light
The soul knows it’s right
We don’t have to fly too high
Before we’re soaring into the sky
I’ve got my Christmas cake
Sister’s special bake
Crumbs are everywhere
From here to Philadelphia
From the start they didn’t know exactly why, why
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky
But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon
Tell me if I’ll ever know a blessing in disguise
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

Everyone we meet comes into our life, or crosses our path, for a specific purpose, even though the reason may not be clear to us at the time. It may be years before we learn what that purpose was.
Some we meet will become our teacher, to teach us something we need to know for our journey here.
Some come into our life because there is something we are meant to teach them β we will become their teacher.
Some we meet will bring a painful challenge, something that can result in a valuable lesson to help us grow, or to learn who we truly are within awareness.
The Universe doesnβt make mistakes. Everything that happens, happens for a purpose. Itβs up to us to discover what that purpose is and why it touched our life.
All paths lead back to us β we are that which we seek.

Only breakfast time here, I’ve got a procedure to come. I’ve had Agnes Obel in my collection for a while, and I’m not sure, but mentioned in categories of singer/songwriters and I’m glad I found her. She’s very big in Germany

Your poem brought out a sigh and then a smile.

Thank you Dear Carolyn, I’m feeling ok, but it’s been a rough, the lumber puncture didn’t go well they had three goes at finding the right spot, so the procedure ended up being extremely painful, I had to grit my teeth and shed a few tears
I’m happy you enjoyed my post today, and Agnes Obel’s music is divine πΆππ€
