When the hard becomes the easy mind has reached the pinnacle of what it understands and the coming down no hardship for the height once reached and known a treasure unsurpassed by the pettiness of life. And when the need to breathe and breathe no longer satisfies a woman’s need there’s a knowing that the love inside has risen up beyond the known into the confines of a soul. But soul and mind both intertwined yet do leave the flesh behind and think tomorrow maybe soon death facilitates amends and makes the love again. But look to air where still the means lies waiting to implant the dream and call it in with true intent to know that what is now not known can’t blossom forth next time around. I want to plant my seedlings now because I want what grows next time but there’s no need to panic, fret when mind has reached the pinnacle and love is in the soul ~ and yet I cry like babies do when needing you to know, believe, love can’t and won’t survive if you don’t give it life!

Helen~ I am slowly savouring the layers of this one~ Very, very ponderous ...~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

And when the need to breathe and breathe no longer satisfies a woman’s need there’s a knowing that the love inside has risen up beyond the known into the confines of a soul. I think this is a magnificent poem from beginning to end. Truly amazing philosophical ponderings, dear Helen!  love Margherita |

Honey, your marvelous philosophical mind has reached another pinnacle!  I appreciate the wisdom in your closing lines. "love can’t and won’t survive if you don’t give it life!" Love to you my SA friend! Linda |

Thanks everyone for your kind comments - much appreciated. Strange how it happens though that just when one thinks one has reached the pinnacle there's another and another and isn't that just a wonderful testimony to life and all that can be discovered? |
