 * * * The sound of pain * * * From my solar plexus a deep sound of pain rises uncontrolled into my throat. My vocal chords dress the pain in dark colors and let it escape out into the world in scaring expansion. The sound bounces upon the gloomy street and gathers desolation. It pauses for a moment on a lonely treetop to collect more power from the droning wind. It penetrates the birds’ breast who join the lament, stunned into compassion. It lingers in the clouds and saturates with multitudes of black tear pearls. The unbearable heaviness causes fragmentation. The sound splits and a single tiny tone echoes within your heart, where memories stir and generate a loving smile. In the awareness of your caring smile the sound of pain finds its culmination and finally dies. Serene acceptance and gentle letting go allow me to breathe again. * * * |

(big huggies) Oh Margherita, reading this poem really tugged at my heartstrings, where to many I can imagine it's like the pain is a piece of hard candy you keep sucking on and accidentally choke on at first, but in time it dissipates and suddenly your throat feels clear and free to sing to your heart's content! (does happy dance) This is an amazing emotive read, my friend!  XOXO, Lisping Hibiscus "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |

Margherita, As I read that English is your third language, I am even more taken by the vividness of your poem. It is absolutely beautiful. When the speed in which I read a poem slows down by itself and paints a picture to savor, I know I've read a good poem! Great to read you again. It is good to know that pain, eventually is a passing thing. You say it so well. hugs, misce |

Thank you so much, dear Misce, dear Marti and dear Ctowen, for telling me you appreciated my poem. Right in this moment I am all excited. It is snowing here in Rome, not just lightly, it is snowing like in the mountains. In just a few minutes all is white ... and traffic is blocked. Here nobody is ready for snow! Love, Margherita |

Dear Margeherita, forget humor, words like this are the best medicine. Even my heartache is gone, which I've had since I was last at this place. Beautiful write dear poetess. Happy Valentines dear friend. |

Dear Yann, thank you so much for your very special comment, yes that picture gives the idea of when that universal pain surges from deep within! Dear Richy, you have been missed and I am so grateful that you jumped in to read my poem and commented so beautifully. I am so glad that the end of the tunnel has arrived for you. Now dance in the light again, the way you know! Dear Bill, romantic Poet, thank you so much for your warm reply. It's always a pleasure to have your attention. Love and joy. Margherita |
