DAY 2899: Use these words in your post... immortal, quandary spiral, ghosts, cotton, silk, and red.

Words form images in my mind,
pictures representing
the landscapes
of my mind and soul--
landscapes that merge to create
my concept of reality.

Immortal echoes reverberate
through time and space
intoning the adventure of life
upon the material plane,
and the spirit's hope of rebirth
into the spiritual realm.

Ghosts--
the foggy images
of yesterday's regret
waiting to haunt
the present and the future.

Cotton white clouds concealing
the sapphire firmament of faith
descend,
with the Lord Returned
in the Father's Glory.

Silk winds blowing
from the Abha paradise
carry to the believer
the song of God's Nightingale
and the scent of the Tree of Life.

Red is the color of martyrs blood--
Christ upon the cross,
and The Bab
in front of 750 rifles.

Quandary spiral:
a believers perplexity moves
around the fixed point--
of prayer,
meditation,
scripture reading,
and over coming test and difficulties--
constantly decreasing
to the point of steadfastness.
