I tremble, feeling your voice gently caressing my soul those melancholy eyes piercing my heart with undying love musical foreplay. From my book Dark Linings by Joanne Olivieri

Thy wrath befell upon the sight Of devils chance to winged flight                    Yet we                    Shall see Lion and lamb, lie down with thee.

A need that is fueled by hope and a faith which is never betrayed, by God who delivers the saving rope as we climb the mount of temptation each day. If we misstep and lose our balance and begin to go astray our Lord will provide spiritual guidan
