before...

when the last bell sounds it's tone across the landscape

that our human ears will ever hear,

when the last new life is brought forth into the light of day...

when the last time we must say goodbye to a loved one is at hand

and we must embrace our aching goodbye...

when the last season has made her mark on this landscape

and we stand to feel this knowledge,

when the last sunset has met the last sunrise

with her her golden glow..

before all of these come to pass,

in the very instant before their ceasing,

we shall hear a mighty trumpet blast..

the sharp report of that first note shall signal

that death has lost, and Faith has won...

that goodness and Love have swept away 

any mountain, any enemy

any pain...

before we fall, we shall be wrapped in Peace,

and we shall know we are safe at last...

it's time to go deeper...

I feel like I have lost my mojo a little bit about my blog, maybe I am out of ideas, maybe I am just in pause mode... or at least that is what I had thought until a blog friend reached out today with a note to see if I was ok (thank you S)... a nice check in if you will... and that brought me to the title of this post..

it's time to go deeper...

time to delve below the surface and root around in the cellar so to speak... unpack some of the stored packages and boxes.. you know the ones, those that are filled with the stuff we don't talk about, the stuff we pack away and try to ignore... maybe its time to open the cellar door and let some light shine in and remove the shadows... 

it's time to go deeper...

time to look at what does really matter, and not just write the words but hear and feel them... time to examine the "why's" and the "why the hell not's"... and even a few "why the hell did you's" too...

I can't promise this path will be uplifting or filled with sunshine and lollipops,
I can't promise that it will even stay focused on this path I am looking at today...
but I can tell you,

it's time to go deeper...
