in the sublime sanctuary of your arms lives Eden, unabridged my will of iron rusts crumbling into sweat making a paste of ash and honey you dip your finger and paint the day bright expectant the night clear triumphant your bosom heavy with sustenance for searchers a pillow for slumber treasure your heart is a place where both good and evil sip from the same cup and die by the same fire Rene ~ August 2012 For Magpie Tales Image credit ( via Magpie Tales) Andrew Wyeth, 1948 "The Big Room"
