 * * * Soundless are my steps in the hush of the desert bereft of all hope my heart emits vibrations of painful longing. Fear grips me in the darkness with an extensive soul sigh I lift up my eyes to the skies in search of encouraging signs. A spellbinding multitude of stars showers me with infinite smiles of light dancing on my lips, touching my heart, assembling to form Your Holy face. Wrapped in Your divine fragrance emanated from the heavens above I walk with renewed confidence see, flowers sprout all around me and I know I am home within Your love. * * * |

Very persuasive poetry, Margherita. There are times when the darkness seems to hold sway over us and we do not see the results of life around us. Only when we do our best to rid our thoughts of darkness, or even look to a higher power, then, and only then are we able to see and appreciate the "flowers in the desert." ~*~ Old is when “getting a little action” means you don't need to take any fiber today. ~*~ |

So lovely, your imagery is flawless. I love being able to see what a writer sees, and to take a literal place and make it something beyond that.. Perfect. |

One thing life has proven to me, Margherita, is that God is visible in all places, no matter how dark, and that alone may be your only way out at times. Enjoyable read. Michael |

Margherita, this is so lovely and touching. .. Very pertinent to myself now at this time when I too find myself searching for the flowers reaching through parched earth. ..I know they are there. Thank you for this beautiful message of hope! |

Beautiful.Thank you for this. Whenever, I see a flower breaking through an unusual or unexpected place, I am drawn to it. It reminds me, there is a place for every one. Out of step a bit, maybe a little different,it reminds me that there is beauty in everyone that just may not have been noticed when it was trying to conform. Breaking out of the mode and finding our own way, shows strength, Jo |
