Single fingered trying Outstretched to touch divinity Damned in failure To touch only the spark The bare essence Still It slides in liquid fire Through veins expanded Running rivulets Leaving breathless Voids of wonder Encapsulating still more Encouraging less Singular efforts Repeated till unknowingly We withdraw our reach And stand only staring With upturned hearts |

Not sure exactly what you are saying here, But the first part, with the title as a guide Make me think of the Sistine Chapel ~ I’m not sure of the rest, but it sort of follows Interesting write Gloom |

Cpat Sometimes we make things so complicated...all that reaching with spent emotion..when it is so simple to look with the heart. Just my take on this thought poem. |

The last three lines in this say so much. Left me feeling a bit resigned to the fact. Always a nice read from you. |

Sandra: Thanks! This one indeed was written for me...and means little if anything to anyone but me I am sure...thanks for taking time to comment. Serenity: yes it is isn't it... but then again it was written for me..and probably shouldn't have been shared as it has no bearing on reality in ways.. thanks for taking time...always appreciated. Martie: Your take is always welcome and appreciated. It has several meanings to me, and it probably has little meaning for anyone else...as I said above, it probably is one that should have stayed in my library..just for me to ponder. Thanks for the comment!! as I said, always appreciated. Blues: Yes in many ways it does leave you resigned... thanks for taking the time to read and comment...hopefully this one won't turn you away from future posts of mine ( chuckling) Ms Chipmunk: I think you are right...low blood sugar and not enough coffee when I wrot this! Goes to show you doesn't it..we write what we eat! ( Or is that confusing another old saying with something else????) |
