Words Of Healing And can we trust the words of healing yet? You at your couch's end and I on mine. Earnest spoken, hand in hand and time, Who's vision I once held but never met. Apologies for strident burning words. Phone calls that ended. Dying. Strangers. Hate. And shall a trust befriend a gift of fate. The half-lit rainbow beckons timid birds. I put away my weeping, my black eyes No longer the mascara daily smears. I put away the weeping and the tears Of daily lonely sufferings and sighs. And shall this box be opened yet again? A heart that's once laid barren is estopped. A love that once lay open is a knot That words of healing pry fore'er in vain. "Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?' Let us go and make our visit." -Eliot [This message has been edited by A. L. Becker (05-10-2003 09:37 PM).] |

HelloLovelyLady~ This seems to be quite an emote of the heart~ Wishing you fully-lit rainbows in beckon~ Nice to see you, gal~ The Pub crowd misses you~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The only fault I can find with this poem is the small "i", I am not sure if that is effective. |

ffpercent243, Oops, you're right. it is an idiosyncracy of mine, but it is distracting. i'll change it. Marge, thank you so much for your kind words. i've been working on prose for the last few months and am just now trying to get back to my poetry. "Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?' |

I like this write Annie. But, different than your usual pennings. |
