The Balance of Time

Brad Lee Bollinger 1986 (Can't go home)

December 22 


Balance is truth through the light one seeks a soul of forgiveness for a journey of peace with a love of devotion cleansed from fear blessed with the presence of those who care saved from the battles through which they rise purged in the fire from deep inside they are simple true but exquisitely cruel with the actions of time enjoying the ride amongst the dangers of the living divine~

    It speaks to me in another way the others don't. I can understand it, it may struggle with punctuation I feel but I understand what they mean.
