         a dream

         pales sunlight
         diffused by sheer curtains
         plays on my face.
          disrupting--
         as I cling to
         a dream of you
         like trying to hold
         smoke
         after a candle
         has been blown out.    Mary Jones

     



Excerpt

Lorica of Saint Patrick

I arise today

Through the strength of heaven;

Light of the sun,

Splendor of fire,

Speed of lightning,

Swiftness of the wind,

Depth of the sea,

Stability of the earth,

Firmness of the rock.

Pablo Picasso, still life with chair caning 1912

Pain has an element of blank; It cannot recollect

when it began, or if there was a  time when it was not.

It has no future but itself,Its infinite realms contain

its past, enlightened to perceive new periods of pain.        

 Emily Dickinson
