I wear you well
Beneath my clothes
Beyond what culture shows
The valuables found in a lifetime quest
Unsure and certain beats beneath my vest

For you have won both honor and create
As juices ripe ferment on fortunes plate
I wear you well
Beneath my skin and to the bone
Directing harmony in loyalty and faithful tone

A voice has risen
From the recess of my secret place
Lighting candles in my eyes to flood my face
And all I knew has burned away to ash but know
To be replaced and ever graced in love to glow

I wear you well...

~*~

You know, Kathleen...
I think that is exactly what I do.
I read here, I feel, breath, think in lines
that I hope to be giving of nature, life,
times, hope...
I see all of the future, all of the frustration
of life and dreams...
I shimmer in your lights...
if not for you, and the other poets...
where would I be?

I thank you, for this light...

this...Diamond....

I enjoyed the feel of this read, your use of words.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

"I wear you well
Beneath my clothes
Beyond what culture shows
The valuables found in a lifetime quest

   Just the beginning of the beauty of your poem.  This tells me of the loyalty and vision of a friend.
