    bright
    billowy
    low and lazy
    balls of cotton
    plucking distance
    gently drifting
    seems quaint
    picturesque
    but the treeline parts
    hanging heavy
    truth revealed
    not so sure
    i want to be
    here

    She's back! Liked this - got me all dreamy and then brings you up short. Nice.

    I will come back and ponder this later and try and write something of my own....

    lovely poem Jo

    Here is a place I know too well
    Been lost here before
    Got stuck here for days once
    Never tread the same path twice they say
    But somehow, I always seem to end up here

    in the hearts of men
    they say
    but i wonder
    if
    they know it's so?

    As a youth I never did believe in evil
    Oh how little I knew
    How I thought it was a concept
    Outmoded and maligned
    The human spirit, misunderstood
    And now again today I no longer believe in evil
    The child's spirit in us all, corrupted
    That's all
    And yet the years in between
    I studied evil nightly
    I felt its chill
    Scraping down my back
    As I found respite
    In not one corner
    Until I caught the essence of evil
    Distilled, and pinned it down under glass
    It was something, plus intelligence
    I remember that much only
    How evil needs intelligence
    To be the force it is

    At certain times I have felt a palpable evil all around me - a dark dark force, horrible beyond imaginings - even without a person to claim it - a force shivering down my spine, running round my brain. To be honest, my encounters with pure evil are probably at the heart of my problems when I've been ill. Not pretty.

    I have also felt the power of evil and have seen it in others eyes.

    Evil waits for an opportunity ... it lurks, it is extremely powerful and addicting.

    We might feel fragile but it can not 'become' us, we must choose to let it in
    this a freedom of choice for most but not all ....

    unfortunately evil can be learned too, long before the mind is conscious
    and can understand or choose. This how it perpetuates .... by taking the innocent.

    that was really good tremors

    and yes ...innocent evil is the scariest kind

    i too have felt the presence of true evil...and it scares the living beegeebus out of me

    i think you'll both understand when i say that i can "feel" things that can't be seen or felt by other people ... sometimes...and usually those things are quite benign..even comfy. but in the presence of evil ...even though you want to look away..turn it off. ..try to tune it out..you know down in the deepest recesses of self..that you dare not ... even one split second. although i could never tell you what the face of evil looks like..there have been many many times when i wish i didn't know what it feels like....a heaviness pervasive in the air ... and a feeling of absolute terror and dread. i find amazing that most people in this world (at least as far as i know) are able to so blissfully ignore it. can't say i haven't wished to be among them.
    peace,

    I have a clear memory of meeting evil in the eyes of another one of the first times when I was in my twenties.
    I see it in my mind like it was yesterday.

    We, JB and I, were at a mall in Milwaukee.
    It was Christmastime. Santa was seeing a line of children.
    We got into one of the clear glass elevators to go up ...it was close to Santa.
    He helped a small girl, probably not yet 3- I still see her little red velvet dress and white tights,
    helped her onto his lap and held her, touched her as he lifted her in a very wrong way.
    Our eyes met in that instant .. his mouth curled ... he knew I knew
    It was there in his eyes... pure evil... I felt it and it nearly knocked me over ... and then I almost got sick.
    I knew then he had let evil in and he enjoyed it. Evil preys on others for its own satisfaction.

    Your words Jo very much how I feel.
    I must say the flip side is how strongly I feel love in the air.
    The goodness and hope.
    The feeling I get when looking in another's eyes and that I might not have
    otherwise. It is very strong, the goodness.
    I'll take the good with the bad because I know love will always overcome evil.
    Maybe not here in this world but where I am going.
