A great and ever present reason in the still gives me strength to be trusting. In the color of love I see the bright and rounding moon and in goodness I see beginnings. I have capsized again and again in oceans that took my breathe. I found myself in white capped splendor negotiating with my insanity a personal flotation device meant for drowning souls. It took me past the catch in my throat pulsing with a heart song, down into a safely place that enfolds my lonely wretchedness twists it like French ribbon ripples it to clarity and brings it back like fabric tossed with bounce sweet smelling and new. Listen, in the story is survival faltered and failed, bleeding in times listing wooden boat, lost, but loud and lovely with survival. The reaching found the poetry still fresh and lithe and new in its amazement. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 11-04-1999).] |
