RAW JOY
5 May 2011

She ran through the
long
long grass
in the summer sun
and touched
the blessing
of the fluffy clouds
and drank the breeze
and her heart
became
a butterfly
and danced
the sky
fragrant blue.

Diana....This could be about anyone that you have looked at with love.  I like to think it one of your animal friends, as they somehow can feel "raw joy" in a way that we humans can not.  I think of Precious this way now.  Thank you for the lovely!

Thank you, Martie.  I am glad you enjoyed it.  Hugs and cuddles to your precious Precious and hugs to you.  I am praying every day for Precious.

What a soft, pretty write this is.
It made me happy reading it. I envisioned
a young girl skipping thru a field with
her hands on the hem of her skirt in carefree innocent youth.

I witnessed unbound joy like this and see it now with my two new babies.  Ears flopping, they run to discover each new adventure.  My two older jobs will share their enthusiasm ... when they get passed the jealous phase.

You know I love this, Diana.

You are touched by the joy of being, when the heart is open to Love and absorbs it to the fullest, to diffuse it in the world.

Wonderful, dear Diana!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, Dreamgal.  I am glad you enjoyed it so much!

Thank you, Alison.  I can see your babies in your words too.  I am glad it brought you that picture.

Thank you, Margherita.  I am not always joyous, but most times when I am not, I get back there pretty quickly.  Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you, Dark.  Smiles.

This is exactly the type of poetry I love to read with my morning coffee..To wake to an incomplete world, with a completely beautiful thought, all written down for me.
Thank you, Dianna...now I can go plant trees with a calm state of mind.

नमस्ते,
