O the fruition in the anticipated!

the multi layered plan
the chill in the air
as if August never was

but the temptation stays,
privy to
the promise and the faith

this morning wide on white
ghostly haze ,suggestive of
the heaven in the background

the spin on spiral waves

the glare of the unforgiven
now forgiven

and I will wait
(as if I have any control over it)
a little longer

for the rabbit to pull
from the hat

as I hold to the comfort
athough admittingly, the chill,
this very chill
of what I've realized (feeling
blessed) that I can endure
in the interim.

I love it, dear EmmaRose, it is very captivating. Not sure whether I welcomed you to Pip, so WELCOME TO PIP!

Love,

What control do we really ever have? Sometimes we just have to throw a few more layers on the heart and still, nothing comes to warm it with fondness.

This was great Emma.

Thanks Margharita
Thanks Richy

Not sure if this made sense, but I let it fly anyhow and am glad it made a landing
across the miles to each of you

You are a very brave person, Emma. I’m glad you’re feeling a little better and could feel the suggestion of Heaven. Believe me, there are rabbits galore, but very few in hats. Sometimes you have to go out walking and you will find that there are rabbits and butterflies and flowers and beautiful happy clouds of all sizes and shapes in the bluest of skies – and even nice people – well, in Pip, anyway!

I love your very beautiful poem, and very especially the strength of the last 3 lines.
