Listening to every heart

Something Good Might Come Through

It is hard to frown
when the sun shines, even though
the cold wind blows and cuts
crossing barriers and
high walls that don’t seem to stay
strong

but seem invisible and full of holes,
or chinks, perhaps crevices, something empty
and void, or perhaps should best be seen
as fallible, so that somehow, in one way
or another,

something good might come through them,

maybe.

Perhaps I should just start chiseling
widening the holes
on my own,

let the wind whistle through where it may,
allow light to dapple grasses
and pathways,

and maybe even let some moisture
come through.

Perhaps, if I do that,
the garden of love
will grow, again.

Yes, Grandmother…
I am listening.

Keep listening for her Karilea..
I'm sure something good will come through.
Heart hugs.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Now perhaps this will not come across as being right - as my way of critique may be different in ways acceptable. Not to take the shadow or sunshine from your poem, but to leave my own words in the shade of those in appreciation of the above

Even if in my case these words below were composed some 12 hours ago. I feel they answer my feelings of all of the above, in ways I cannot otherwise express. Although of a completely unrelated spirit of promoting.

Barriers and Bridges
12 February 2006

I want to marry you
this indeed could be true
I want to dream your dream
I want one and one to equal too

This Tabitha of beauty to seek
her being one of only in befriend
Yet what was love - half a world away
that can build barriers and not bridges
which in structure guide each day

This proposal of giving to care
that love of one oh so fair
I want to marry you
because if that was true

My world would be complete
my heart overflowing in joy
Then as I go to sleep at night
I know my feeling have been neigh


“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
Matthew 22: 30 KJV

"let the wind whistle through where it may,
allow light to dapple grasses
and pathways,"

I would agree with your grandmother!

I take immense pleasure in your words Sunshine

Someone said you called a colleage "love";  I said "I am London", I can get away with Darling

Your words give a pleasure that transcends words

What a great "telling" and the imagery was just wonderful. Thanks for sharing, Karilea.
