 Miserere nobis ... Have mercy on us when we truncate the tree of love disregarding the immeasurability of its tender and passionate shoots meant to touch the skies and beyond when we throw nets to capture a heart ignoring its right to be free and fly high over wildflower fields into the lightness of wind driven teasing white clouds when we dare not live up to our dreams unleashing our wildest imaginations disrespecting the law of manifestation which rewards the boldest dreamers when we mistrust our God-given abilities to become co-creators of our lives by building insurmountable walls of doubts instead of twirling in full confidence when we allow our days to be gray instead of splashing buckets of colours onto the screen of our experiences for the benefit of all the onlookers Miserere nobis when we dare not express our divinity oblivious of our common celestial roots and of Your wish to manifest through us in all of Your perfection and magnificence. The wings are in place the power is on let us fly high in limitless skies and love and love and love ...! * |

Your poem is genius writing Margherita. Each stanza, line, is captivating. We fail to remember that each smile or frown that adorns our face impacts someone, somewhere; for each action there is a reaction. Peace and Love, Marcia www.thewritingforum.net |

A poem directed at the slovenly of lovers and inspired by grace and loveliness. To not be all that we can be in whatever endeavor we find ourselves in is, in my opinion, le3st I repeat myself, a slovenly approach. ~ I knew drugs weren't the answer. I just had to find out for myself. ~ |

Margherita, my dear friend, This is simply superb! You might give thought to sharing it with your church, and other churches, just so they might get the true feel of what it is to be united with not only their specific religion, but with the earth, as well. It came upon me of a sudden insight from a memory of long ago, when I saw rows and rows of beautiful flowers being grown only to be cut for a parade [Rose Bowl Parade, as well as others] that within your poem I saw their growth only for monetary means, and not because the flowers grew of and for their own self, as wildflowers are wont to do. And yes, I was and am part of the culture that breeds animals for food; but what less feel of a flower to a cow when it comes to taking of life? No one hears the thud of a well-plucked flower? In other words, my friend...you made me think, and I do so appreciate a well wrought thinking poem. Bless you. Love, K |

Thank you, dear Marcia, for your beautiful comment. Yes, sometimes we lack that awareness that can make really a great difference! Thank you, dear Diana, for your kind appreciation and for perceiving me so positively.  Thank you, dear Ebonygirl, for your loving comment. Sometimes we need a little nudge to realize our true potential. Dear Jerry, "slovenly" is a new discovery in my vocabulary. And yes it fits. Thank you so much for your kind reply. It feels good to be appreciated by you, dear Maureen, thank you! Thank you, dear Lori, your loving comment brings joy. Dear Karilea, your reply is quite special, thank you. Love your ponderings! The Church? I fear they would misunderstand my words .... though Jesus said it .... "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Mt 5:48) The law of love is perfect, but we struggle every day to adhere to these divine revelations. Thank you again! Dear D., it's nice to find you in here with such a loving reply. Thank you! Love and joy to all! Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Oh Margherita, so good to read you! This captivating poem is a delight...for the sense and for the spirit. I found a smile by the end...it is truly uplifting, and those who tend to become mired in pessimism (like myself) need to read this daily...I will be returning to it time and again. Thank you for sharing it with us! Your gift amazes. All my best~ Amaryllis |

Dear James, thank you so much for reading and agreeing with that most significant word ... and so be it! Thank you, dear Jimmy, for your loving comment. Dear Karen, I enjoyed your capital letters, thank you so much! Amaryllis, my dear, the sun shines brighter suddenly when I see your presence here. Thank you for your most kind and loving comment. We all need the reminder sometimes, lest we surrender to doubts and cynism. Love and hugs to all, my dear Poet friends. Margherita |

"when we mistrust our God-given abilities to become co-creators of our lives by building insurmountable walls of doubts instead of twirling in full confidence" incredible poem, surely goes to my library. True words of wisdom and beautiful photo, Margherita. |
