Thank you for posting my favorite Sonnet of all!  @chicagoshakes

William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 seems uncanningly named. 

The Word for the number, 18, Chai, or Chaya, 

is the same as the Word for "Life" in Hebrew.

Number Eighteen is a Mystical number...

*~*~*Please Scroll Beneath the photos,
or after you  have seen them enlarged,
as i have more for you...

**I have revised my Twittery post, as I did not fit the Words into those one-hundred forty characters:

Upon reading Shakespeare's Sonnet 18

Each time I read these Immortal Words,I rejoice!

I see my Love and I are newly borne.
My fears flicker out as Stars which find Life again in 
a floating, liquid Universe
~~~
A "floating Universe:"  

a Waiting Room,
where Souls recycle; 

~~~~~~

                 

these "Souls" spring from all which has Lived,
all which has Loved...or has been BeLoved

ignited anew in a Dark smokey chamber,

hashish and deities' incense,

 sweet intermingles with bitter-burnt intent

a purity test...

Souls spring into feelings, spark fresh Hearts, 

climb

to help form Time's Mountains....

Mountains...
