Ovarian Misconception

It was just a smudge of cloudy foam
On ultra sound of black and white
A place much like the birth of poem
Held dear by tears when read with light

A branch held it within the curve
To make a path to life     to verve
This place of reverence  of intrigue
Of masterful carpentry

It stayed awhile this warm like nest
Built by love and not neglect
It was a beginning to this end
A place that time has broken in

Weep not for the flower spent
For youth to last when heaven bent
It is only flesh now purpose free
And a blessing to the mastery

Weep for this sad look inside
My mother place with battle lines
That was a plan of great  perfection
Is now my ovarian misconception

Outstanding Martie!  This could be read in several ways, but the loss is evident as is the pain.  Misconceptions are never easy to endure, and most always unexpected....I think that is the hardest part of coming to terms.
Take good care~

"Where does it come from," she shyly asked,
when the lines were set by task.
"From the woman far within,
who by the snake was set in sin."

Ok. I don't know where THAT came from, but thank goodness you kickstarted some thoughts...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Martie, this is so sad but true, sweet friend, misconceptions are indeed very hard to endure, for after all, we are all only human, and had we ever known what the consequences would be we would always feel secure always and find solace in an instant to relate to! (kiss on cheek) This is sad but powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I like the way that you played with the words here Martie. . . this is definitely different in its form and thought. . . and such excellent metaphors you use. . .

I enjoyed this very much. . .

Masterful carpentry indeed, Martie...just like this beautiful poem.

I agree with Toe, Martie... the title is magnificent... and that excellence is maintained in each and every line.

This leaves me sad for that which was wanted but never came to be... and that which was not long enough. Wonderful work!

Peace to you.....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

We must find a home for this one Martie. I share this one with you, and the pain for me never seems to go away.  Extremely well done dear friend.

Let's spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end, and more on when it's going to start!
