Color spirals before our eyes. The truth we find in summer sky, The mirror lake...there’re no mistakes Though we cloak ourselves in bony tombs, Of manufactured imagery, It’s only an analogy of what you are And what is me. The grass green or grayish blue or gold wheat wet with sparkling dew Sways gently in the morning. Breath in, breath out. The clover growing ‘Neath your hand, buzzing bees throughout the land, And trees, oh trees when green with leaves! The motion just like moving orbs ‘round the sun that’s you, that’s us. Illusion that my spirit lies Contained within a fleshly shield Yields to re-perception Escaping all the borders built. What the body cannot feel The spirit senses still in Weaving in and out of holes Of thought, and stirrings. It reveals There’s not a cell within this “soul” That is not moving, changing, growing. I am not here, I am not there, I am not present, Nor gone from here I am a billion motions Preconceived Chaos to order Our eyes are deceived. For if we could see All the motion we are There’d be no more reason To move very far. |

"I am not here, I am not there, I am not present, Nor gone from here I am a billion motions Preconceived Chaos to order" Love the write, but this verse says it all. JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

Marvelous writing. I really enjoyed this. I read it three times - I wanted to get all of the meaning out of it. Excellent, this is! Caroline |

One of your finest, dearest Jo. It reveals the inner beauty of your spirit--and whoa, you, it must be very difficult to turn off that intellect of yours to find the "quiet" that allows one to see visions such as these. You have my total respect and love.  |

Jo, This just resonates! I read it aloud, finding it so melodic. Beautiful wording, sounds, rhythm, message... I agree. It's one of your finest, but you've written so many great poems, it would be a tough choice to pick my favorite. This definitely would be one of the many favorites. It is good to see your writing again. hugs, misc |

I went looking for a poem by you and found this glorious piece of stirring, soul-touching, writing! Beautifully done, lily jo!  "There’s not a cell within this “soul” That is not moving, changing, growing." ~ Lines that bear repeating! "There’s not a cell within this “soul” That is not moving, changing, growing." Loved it!
