evening prayers and miracles she has a smile and eyes that shame the sun and moon of star-field splendor. she has a heart wide and deep as the vast-eternal sea and a spirit that shall fill the boundless universe. I have but gossamer poet-dreams and humble words of infinite fragility, too easily lost to rain or tears, with which to try and chase any cold and darkness of the past left by other kinds of men than I. I pray … that she may truly ‘see’ me. --- b. e. adams (1/5/2012) |

These are truly the words of a poet. This was my first read back in a long while, and I am glad I started here. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE |

It just doesn't get any better than this, Bruce. This is what poetry is ( or should be) all about. Ida |

I have but gossamer poet-dreams and humble words of infinite fragility, too easily lost to rain or tears, with which to try and chase any cold and darkness of the past Sometimes what we have to offer seems to be so little in face of what's needed and deserved... we give all we have and all we are, but still need a miracle. I pray you get your miracle. Beautiful write! *S* |
