If He Might There was pleasure to be seen In the sultry partition of clouds This early morn, When a wink of sun’s eye Contacted a mist of showers Causing rainbows to course over The lands …and I thought…if He Might grace me… Travelers of the morn saw Columns of color – slowing In their trek, appreciating The beauty …and if He might grace me With a here-after bequest… Then the morning commute Was alive with searching eyes For mayhap another prism awaits …a hereafter bequest that when I pass, I be allowed to Come again as the sun To greet my friends Dance the clouds And kiss night shadows Into submission And then reality blew the Clouds away, and yet, I wonder …what if He Might grace me? ~*~ © KRJ 8-8-11 66452 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-08-2011 04:56 PM).] |

Truly an uplifting bit of poetry, this afternoon, Miss Sunshine, and that you are spreading your wealth all around. ~ If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it. ~ |

Very, very beautiful, Karilea in so many ways. I am intrigued as to the appearance of the word, "trek" in your poem. I thought it was a South African term (from the language Afrikaans) and unknown out of our borders. Owl |

I think you already have been graced, and pass that sunshine on each day you are here. This was nice to read, as it dripped on down the page K. |

We, your readers are the ones blessed.. With your poetry treasure; We, who are the green leaves of mind absorption, Basker's in the brilliant light of your words- That warm our senses By mental photosynthesis, Any starch that might sour our brains, Into sugars of reading pleasure. It is we, who are blessed. |

He always blesses you and always will ... There are ways to transcend our earthly limitations and the tool to open the gates to and fro is LOVE, yet again. Most beautiful poetic ponderings, dear Karilea. Love, Margherita |
