Put your hand
upon my shoulder
as lightly
as a feather.
So I will know
you are close
caring tenderly.
With every step I take
I will be able to hear
your song of love
and I will hum along.
I will trust
the direction
my feet will take
and more so
I will trust
my soul
who guides me
while I climb
higher
into the spheres
of light
where everything
is all right.
Where love reigns,
where tears are dried,
where I am truly
One
with divine creation,
where I allow
the universal flow
of love
to fill me
and to comfort me
in all of my human
suffering.
Keep your hand
upon my shoulder
as lightly
as a feather,
my Angel, my Love,
my Everything.

A beautiful poem from a beautiful heart.

Nice poem for me to read this morning.

Thank you, Margherita.

Oh boy, Margherita, you give the reader much to decipher. While this could be spiritual in nature, it could also be as one with the now and the one who puts a hand on your shoulder could actually be walking beside you. I loved this, whichever way you felt in your heart when you penned it.

Oh you make me reach for the stars and cling to my loved ones who have gone before me. I believe with my whole heart there is a heaven.

Thanks for sharing the beauty sweet one.

This brought buckets of tears as yesterday our dear friend died of cancer. His wife is devastated along with all of his family and friends. Even though it was a blessing that he suffers no more, it is so damn hard to lose a friend.

Thank you for these words as they brought comfort despite my tears!
Hugs sweet lady, Marti

Very lovely indeed Miss Margherita. Within it all, I found this particularly attractive:
quote:
"in all of my human
suffering.
Keep your hand
upon my shoulder
as lightly
as a feather"


88's friend

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Thank you, my dear Poet friends, Lori, Namyh, MissMarti and Danny, for your most kind and loving comments, which I highly appreciate.

I am sorry for your loss of a dear friend, dear MissMarti. Comfort comes when the bond of love survives physical separation. We really can feel the presence of our loved ones who have gone Home. Hugs.

Love and hugs.
Margherita
