i know I just posted this not to long ago, but it is my personal favourite. This Little Light of Mine I am the daughter of Earth, built in the sky Feverishly clinging to how, when, and why It is my one and only this ancient one From ashes to ashes and dust to dust, it has been flung It knows of birth and past lessons learnt Memory exceeding beyond body burnt It speaks to angels in time of need Devouring unmistakable messages from which it feeds The pulse in the veins and fire of the heart Not the mind, but soul, which held the key from start My flesh and blood, it does not control but consumes It is years of self-taught wisdom from which it bloomed Once an unborn child that had grown in womb Will inevitably be replaced by ghost from tomb Again and again to rise up and be rebuilt Assembling once more with only love, never guilt.

Marina~ This was beautiful hon and one of my personal favorites of yours as well. It made me smile the same way as the first time I read it. You answered JM's challenge with a BOOM.  Beautiful poem filled with honesty and truth. Thanks for sharing again! Amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
