Openings … The Air Freshener

 

I am keeping the interior clean,

Free of dirt and grime,

no messy papers and garbage here,

so visitors will enjoy the time together.

And never know how I feel about them.

 

“So you too must befriend the alien”

Book of Deuteronomy

Openings … Unseen Connection

 

The unseen connection that makes me a soul,

Seems concealed, and hidden,

while earthly things shines neon brightly, self-clanging wares,

full of promise to improve a life, immediately, for a second. Then …

make mine measured based on how many I collect.

 

“Faith is the realization of what is hoped for
and evidence of things not seen.”

Hebrews

The following poem is a code-breaking poem from the life of Violette Szabo. She used it transmit messages when undercover in France during WW2. She was an agent for Allied forces in WW2 who after being caught, tortured and sexually assaulted, was executed at Ravensbruk Concentration Camp.

The life that I have

Is all that I have

And the life that I have

Is yours.

 

The love that I have

Of the life that I have

Is yours and yours and yours.

 

A sleep I shall have

A rest I shall have

Yet death will be but a pause.

 

For the peace of my years

In the long green grass

Will be yours and yours and yours.
