I know yesterdays, for they glimmer with steadfast truth Some stand alone, and some come in open-handed twos Oh yes, sure they argue, those stuffy lil’ ol’ antiques But the kind ones’ still lay softly within cherished magazines Adventurous woman who launched into great crusades Rather than stay behind with regret of haunting serenades Throwing loveliness & charm on sentimental voice shadows Something beyond mere detail, became sudden bedfellows Some inner goodness of an old soul, consciousness, in whose minds Wore visions of a distant world, & sensed an unrelenting nation blind Hues of primal narratives sway to and fro, like some whispering sea of tides Beautiful visions of ghostly visitations, on a dream catcher which died Then… Brilliant, breathtaking, intensity of some discovered sixth sense Impelled her to walk a perilous journey, of motivational expense Interpreting a symbolic glimpse into the rise from this earth itself So thoroughly engrossed in a beguiling song which realized… herself And there were times when those pages actually… turned… themselves… Utterly, natural & inevitable… I kicked those cigarettes An ever-evolving story, that hasn’t finished… just yet! “sometimes when you think you’ve lost, you’ve really won!” (wink) |

Gotta love this uplifting poetry, and I sincerely do, LeeJ. I have, of course experienced much in my life, and now, looking back I can truly understand . . . “sometimes when you think you’ve lost, you’ve really won!” I relate to that theory BIG time. Great poetry . . . ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

An insightful read LeeJ. Every time I wake up it's one victory leading me to the next battle. The peace comes when I finally lose. More feelings and fewer words please |

Bless your heart sweet lady, it is really great to see your name here and read your words of wisdom. I love the idea of the pages turning themselves. We all have a story, and each one is unique unto itself. I like to think everybody wins. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they are a bright spot on thee blue pages. |
