~Awaken~ I know slow risings fragile things dreams perhaps or feathered ripples simple returns and wishes a sigh or two not above me no they soft slowly rustle me unrevealing of their frame dare I allow them near? Turn whispery thread of mystery into tangibility …I know not… should I move around them just shadowed unseeing safely or… awaken …awaken… |

I love the way you formatted this! It adds so much to the poem. Oh yes, and the poem itself is really quite superb too. ![]() Keep writing, I'll keep reading! ![]() May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Oh, this is so lovely Kamla. So few words and so much beauty expressed. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Oh wow, this one gave me chills. That impulsive side in me is screaming AWAKEN... but I fully know the flip side of that dilema as well. Your imagery astounds me at times, wonderful work. Michael |

oh kamla what's your secret? (i know i know - the vessel thing, but really kamla how the heck do you keep producing such fantastic poetry???) Well please do awaken, i agree with the others - sometimes it can be harder than what you think, but then again sometimes it can be easier too! Hey my friend thanks for sharing another of your masterpieces. P.S you still haven't emailed me your butterfly poem! P>P>S bring in your cv to work and mark will put a good word in for you because we convinced him how desperately Bennetts needs and wants you!!! Hurry girl hurry! |
