And The Pain Hurts Less

[Guest Maria (Hilda)]

Gaze into the eyes of the Crystal Caribou

as he grazes the field of midnight blossoms

and the pain hurts less

Stare down the face of the Vulnerable Void

as it explodes the night into brilliant array

and the pain hurts less

Entrance yourself in the wonder of the Crying cloud

Sharing its vanity in forked bolts of vengeance

and the pain hurts less

engulf yourself in the beauty of the world

be consoled by forces of positive action

Lose yourself to the heart given to you

and stand stoic when its torn part by part

focus on the growing dreams of all its patrons

and the pain hurts less.

Lose yourself to the heart given to you

and stand stoic when its torn part by part

Advice for us all! Look upon the world - its much larger than any of our problems - and possesses a majestry that awes.

Lovely poem, Maria. Beautiful imagery, too.

BTW, have I told you that I love your new name? Well, I do!
