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 [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 11-16-2000).] |

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... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Very true. Lovely poem. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

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. |
