Numbed by an overpowering love a woman knows to bide the times and sit for a while emotionless in contemplative reverie. This she does when morning breaks as if she wants to keep inside the journey of her soul’s delight that brought her happiness. It’s an effort to remove her mind from what she knows but cannot see but she is older, wiser, now and knows to halt the flow of need that rises up from memory. She moves but not before the words have escaped into the ether as if the placing of them there a means to set her free. Morning breaks upon the world, the sky is clear and birds appear, and yet the night of soul delight still titivates her mind in the manner of a bride! Helen / 12 August 2008 |

Oh, dear Helen, I do know of this "contemplative reverie" and the nightly excursion into the soul dimension "which brings happiness". Your poem is PERFECT! And it is a keeper ... It is this knowing that brings true awareness into our life's journeys. Love and hugs, Margherita ps I am excited that I finally discovered (after five years!!!!) how to activate the signature, which I always thought should appear automatically ... Rumi fits so well in here too! "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Dear Margherita - Thank you! I'm excited for you too - well done! I know that you know. To wake up as I did this morning was truly amazing. Something good must have happened during the night. Wish I could know exactly what it was because I sure would like more of it! Thanks AC! I'm still a bit confused about the true meaning of "love" and how it actually fits into this world of ours because not many seem to truly "own" it. Helen |

I have thought that myself, I don't even have the words to tell you what "love" truly means! But, I guess that it's up to the person who wants to know what it means, ask themselves and whatever you think of, is what Love is to you. to you ARCTIC WIND |
