Unbeknown the hidden rises
up, up, and unto love
calling like a little child
“Look, look at me”  
but nothing can be seen
within the emotive feel
of all I was and am
and will be soon again.

A lover’s song accompanies
the music of a heart
and I catch the words quicker now
in this awakening
to the immortal tender
that moves within a reach and stretch
to where I cannot go.

And as a mind attunes
to eternal energy
the best of all you were and are
and will be soon again
strums within a need
inexhaustibly apparent
to the goddess in me.

This is love, you know,
made somewhere to exist
to lift and push the clouds away
from life’s disharmony
clanging so incessantly
in the daily grind.

But life, oh, life, this devil “thing”
begets unto most everyone
the ears that cannot hear,
a heart that cannot feel,
and a mind so out of tune
that it flits and flutters aimlessly
like a lost butterfly.

The best, the best, of you and me
will one day listen, feel, believe,
that nothing happens mindlessly
to bring within a symphony!

Helen / 13 April 2007

Masterpiece!

as eloquent and dynamic a
piece of writing i have read
in a very long time. and how
much JUSTICE you put into your
words giving the right of love
to be in it's rightful place a
daily fixture of a kind and
compassionate world.

Bravo!

"nothing happens mindlessly"
That's what I must tell myself.  For the next few days, perhaps weeks, I am close totally deaf.  Feeling a bit lonely ... Looking for company through reading the poems on Passions.
Thank you Helen.
And a hug
Jaime

Nothing happens mindlessly - what comfort there is in those words. Thank you for penning these words I needed to hear them today.

a good commitee can decimate communication.
