Climbing her own ladder
she extends herself
skyward,
counting constellations
her fingers tap
the keeper's gate,
as feet sleep sideways
in beds of
gathered seasons,

rounding the womb
of her trunk,
i hide myself
deep in the vines,
finding sanctuary
within,as i wander
between the extremes.

oh Michele, I felt the depths of this one gal...many layers here..sending heart hugs your way dear one...

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

What goes up, must come down. The higher the highs, the lower the lows. Bi-polarity is a roller coaster ride ~ but those who have this condition are never, ever boring! In fact, they on average, have a higher IQ than the rest of the population! They are stars! ~ Sometimes shooting! Sometimes falling! ~ but always fascinating!

I commend you on an exceptionally beautiful poem from the inside ~ out!

Loving hugs,
Linda

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

into this night i wonder, it's morning that i dread, another day of knowing of, the path i fear to tread.
