Listening to every heart

lineally mine

the word above
it means one thing
of descent
and heritage,
mine

but today I take
poetic
permit
and show my
linear lines

that stretch and
stream across
my face
around my lips
and eyes

and use them all
to smile at you
why
I’ll trade not
my lines

I would not
give one small,
thin dime

nor would I give
less of my time

to say to you
I like these lines
and with me
they shall stay

I’ll not pay one
to remove or smooth,
or even
whisk away
all these little
lines of mine
no, with me
they stay

as they are
all by
design,
refined,
all mine,
to carry me
to grace,
sublime

I’ve worked quite
hard to put them
here,
these, my
lineal lines

as you can see
there’s no fear
in me,
of all these finial
lines

it may be
that they show age
but when upward
turned
they don’t show
regret, nor
rage

and they’re mine,
all mine
they’re mighty fine,
these, my
little
lineal lines

Here, here!  I too, earned every single little crevice and I wear them proudly.  Now ask me if I loved this one?  You bet I did!

And you should be proud of these lines, of all the lines you write.

Your poem with grace and beauty, for one like myself to behold. Beautiful read.

My faith is but the size my mustard seed. I'll turn the other cheek in my love for mankind - not pride.
