Beauty

There is beauty
in every face
a twinkle
a glow
arch of lid
breath of flower                    

and to trace
line and form
is no miracle to
sleight of hand
but the heart light
that grows and cascades
from within

13 lines - summed up most perfectly in the last 3:
"but the heart light
that grows and cascades
from within"

no more need be said - another classic Martie creation

Martie, may I be you for a day, just to see what "perfect" might be?  Please?

I hug you...

Good Bi

What a day..! [^@#$%*+].
I feel like Sheol is druged me into an early
grave.  Somehow after I had read a few lines from
a night before I found it, should I say, fascinating
because last night I was all ready for today
(spiritually alert, wide awake)

ready to take on the
place. I remember
too I was enthusiastic
for it to greet me. Now that
it’s here and I’ve met you I’m not
so sure... However I am trying to be optimistic,

looking for the favorable. I guess that’s easy for people as
copious as the big Ds. advocates but with my little freedom
of verse, I can only confess that I’m a day closer to rest.

It’s getting easier to express such gnawing
loneliness with phrase, but I
suppose it’s better I shan't
for this moment. It’s actually been
hard for me to keep up an optimism for such
futures & what was in it. I originally thought, and still

do, that this is a spiritual thing. However, even with my
many years of Biblical experience, I’ve gotten
slushy and in no way ready for such
an incident. In fact I don’t
believe I thought this
kind of rivalry
could’ve happened

and I regret you ever
experienced it. Under other
circumstances I could have
maybe thought it could
be likened unto
such. But as
it is an
adversary
has again been
thoroughly articulate.

if you found the time I thank
you and if not all the same

good bi

Love you Martie take care...

For a reason unknown to either my husband or me, we have both been cut off at the same time, from posting any new poetry at Passions.  But for some reason, we are allowed to continue contributing comments.
So I must say, if we are cast out, good-bye, my friend!  We care about you.
