“Monte Cassino One Month After the Battle” by Feliks Kay-Krzewinski
four times blood of battle
gave siege to the hill
where blessings of Benedict
died inside bombs
holy bones of the stones
broke from watchtower
duties to shepherd the world
back to occupied Rome
peace rolling on tank treads
with oversized guns
Writer Lynne Sargent

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

A while back I read a book (a good book at that) on this subject. Unfortunately I cannot bring either the author or the title to mind as I write – yet in few lines you have, in effect, said all that book said!
