‘tis a country girl that knows to be in complete and utter harmony with the wild that calls within, within, in the dead of lonely nights but she wakes to find the sun up high on the crying fields. The crying fields spread far and wide over all her hopes and needs inside and she traces them with hands attuned to the fabric of despair. Such fabric is o’er laid with fear and studded with the beads of need and the pattern formed a travesty of the wild that calls within. ‘tis country girls and woman folk who know of harmony and fear and how it works to blend and meld the real into the false and grow amidst the crying fields one red and vibrant rose. That rose looks left and right, sisters, brothers, none and then it knows to stand upright and speak for those who can’t and it screams into the atmosphere with all it’s innate might. The echo travels far and wide but so deep within the crying fields it fades before the target reached and the rose knows it must die before the next sunrise. Today there is no rose to shout; the crying fields have spread and grown beyond the confines of the known and of country girls and woman folk they’ve become like you and me misplaced and dispossessed of the wild that calls within!

Goodness gracious, dear Helen, your thoughts are powerfully expressed here. The "wild" within stirs wonderfully when we are in midst of nature, no doubt. The fragrance of your soul is perceived, never doubt that. With every breath you inhale vital force, divine love, nourishment for your soul. This awareness makes the rose bloom perpetually, it is a process of becoming. I don't intend to "teach", dear Helen, I just express my thoughts, because your wonderful poems always make me think. Great job! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

My dear Margherita - In the process of "becoming" teachers always appear when needed and it doesn't mean to say that those teachers are always aware of their roles. You teach me from the store of your wisdom and experience made known on these blue pages. Thank you. Hugs Helen |
