Waters stirred
Strange shadows over the land
Purple in the deep
And the word ran into the father’s arms
Awakened dreams
Silence listened
Lengthening colours thickened
Stream from lovers wounds
And the passion bursts in veins of grace
Desire loves dream.
Compassion descended
Gathered vibrations trembled
Turning darkness into light
And the whispered voice encompassed hope
Listen to heavens dream.----

ReplyDeleteI really like this prompt you came up with -- putting resolutions into one word. I like the repetitions in this and the winding up with the title. Heaven's dreams would definitely be something to listen for.

Great ending alan! There definitely is the voice whispering of goodness life has to offer. One has to search for it. A concerted effort will bring dividends.However many will just miss it for some reasons. Sincerity comes into play! Thanks for the prompt!
