There’s nothing unusual in a woman born to mourn
or in a heart’s desire disappearing in the dawn
yet significant and meaningful each incident of life
builds a store inside the timelessness of mind.

They’ll tumble down one day and bury us in woe
for from the bottom up each particle must flow
and line the walls of new abodes with our memories
until called upon to decorate with hindsight’s energy.

A castle or a fortress, a mansion by the sea,
but who would say of the free houses need to be
when a field perhaps with daisies, pansies, hollyhocks,
would best absorb the ripples of an aftershock?

To some it’s no surprise that the world of soul is wise
and able to take on board the stark experience of life
but to some the sudden impact of a naked heart
can in torture keep them stuck firmly in the past.

To advance and to know, to feel how emotional is soul,
is like a tidal wave set on destructive mode
unless first enclosed in love’s protective shield
discovered on the journey through reality’s minefield.

“Forgive me for I knew not what I had to do”
and back we come again as just another fool!

Your words always touch a place in me that understands.

Dear Martie, and that place in you that understands is beautiful!
