A Witness sobbing, tears of joy for another tears of envy, perhaps,too my glasses drenched in tears slip down I push them up dry their surface yet ponder the unconditional love I’ve just seen though but a recounting of a memory, it has blossomed fresh and new the love your man holds eternally for you soggy lenses drip down my cheeks as if my eyes had sprung a forever leak this love a golden monument of truth petal by petal wrested with the wind though spinning in the commotion of that which the world sought to bring, to wring out of its life and failing, beneath its everlasting power love prevailed, wind assailed ©February 16, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

A very beautiful and insightful piece... Sometimes it is very tough to experience joy through the eyes of another, especially when that joy is not reflected in our own life, our own mirror. |

If you would like to see the poem that inspired this one, try going to: http://1writersway.proboards2.com/index.cgi?board=postprompts&action=display&num=1013836576 It's an online poetry class. I'm not certain you can view the poem without registering, but give it a try. If you cannot, let me know, I'll see I can have permission to post it with this piece.

  BRAVO!!! Ooohhhhhhh...yes, yes, our heart is our greatest witness other than Him himself, for only we can find true happiness by first loving ourselves and then sharing it with others to open up! (kiss on cheek) This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much, that on-line poetry class seems intriguing, I'll check it out! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
