 "Lotus and dragonflies" by Steve Memering * Open your arms * Open your arms stretch them across the sky take hold of my fragility my heart wants to cry though I don’t know why. Permeate my tears with your rainbow smile coat them with blazes of zen fly me to the river of serenity where souls dance among sparks of dragonflies. Pierce the glassy surface plunge me into the mystery of the neatly reflected skies show me the depth of Universe along the sounds of sighs. Open your arms keep me safe within the space of this imponderable fate of a love without fear that makes me cry without knowing why ... * [This message has been edited by Margherita (06-01-2010 05:11 PM).] |

Drops of liquid soul leave our eyes when we're happy, and, sad, and other times, for feeling, somewhere in between. Sometimes, those are the best kinds of tears. The ones, that just are. This was beautiful Margy just like you. And that, I do know why. Richard xx |

The second stanza is the one that I liked best. To permeate tears with a rainbow smile and coat it with blazes of zen is an intriguing thought. |

You write with such beautiful simplicity and each of your poems seems to entreat us to love, ourselves and each other. You are a beautiful woman, Margherita. Love, Alison |

My dear friend... The dragonflies permeated my back yard earlier this evening...hundreds of them, it seemed! And then I read this, and realize how alike we are.... because as I watched them dance around and about, it caused my throat to close, and tears to rise, it was such a beautiful dance!  |

fine 'write' (and choice of visual image) I love dragonflies ... and since they have weathered roughly 300 million years of "Deep-Time" ... perhaps we 'newcomers' could learn much from them! |

Dear Margherita - Such a beautiful write! I guess we cry because we know of that love without fear and yet sometimes feel so distanced from it. Hugs Helen |
