This Little Light of Mine I am the daughter of Earth, built in the sky Feverishly clinging to how, when, and why It is my only, this ancient one From ashes and dust is where it begun It knows of birth and past lessons learnt Memory exceeding beyond body burnt It speaks to angels in time of need Hungering for their messages from which it feeds The pulse in the veins and fire of the heart Not the mind but soul, which held the key from start My flesh and blood it does not control but consumes It is years of self-taught wisdom from which it bloomed Once an unborn child that had grown in womb Will inevitably be replaced by ghost from tomb Again and again to rise up and be rebuilt Assembling once more with love….never guilt. Marina Apr. 2000 It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen. |

The pulse in the veins and fire of the heart Not the mind but soul, which held the key from start My flesh and blood it does not control but consumes It is years of self-taught wisdom from which it bloomed Once an unborn child that had grown in womb Will inevitably be replaced by ghost from tomb Again and again to rise up and be rebuilt Assembling once more with love….never guilt. =================== HEY YOU!!!!  way cool to see your name here.. welcome back!! This was always one of my faves of yours the imagery, cadence and intense expressions all make for a very cool poem... your poetic light shines in every line. Hope all is groovy at your end of the rainbow  stick around girlie me only you could give love that satisfies the soul... |

I see that you've revised this from before. . . I like this version much better. . . it's got a better flow and your phrases are much more tight and to the point. . . great job. . . (you know, a lot of us miss reading your work. . .  )------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
