The wax paper sky wept a grey day and I draw tight it's miserable sog like a cheap suit in the rain. The only tan I'll know is residual blush from an inappropriate statement or tincture of torrid titulation. Your magnanimous Sun reveals a pine of whine whose wind's a cheery sail through coastal suburbs. Of pine I know it's tar assuring firm gripped swatting of flies in sunny nuisance or fouls misaligned from well lit rules. I'd rather occupy my hands helping a hat make headway through a gale than coerce a channel changer from Dow to War, from worry to sin. I prefer to be the coarse hand gypsy centering his will to the lighting of his last match ensuring a fire.......and life or the single mother in her triumph finding the last can of beans behind the cornstarch........... than the several deadly sinner in a fright mask posing purity to the blind.

This is a bold piece of writing. Something I am striving for in my own. Sometimes I won't post something because it "doesn't sound like me" but I know it really "is me" The line that got to me was the one about the single mother. From working in a food pantry, I can see that scene as clear as day. Kathleen (Kay) |

Oh my gosh....you are speaking with such power and confidence that in the reading of this poem I had to make myself stop to breath. Messages within words that are there to make the blind see. BRAVO!!! Another of your masterpieces. You will ever leave me in awe of your poems as your pen dips within an inkwell that puts you ever beyond mortal touch. **hugs**   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

 BRAVO!!! Oh Richard, your philosophy and wisdom shines in all your fabulous words always! (sigh) I too would rather be one free of sins before I die, and open to the world and the spirit of His love and throw that rubble out of my heart and become enlightened at bay! (sigh) Soooooooo wonderfully written, dear friend, your words always say such powerful expressions! (big hugggsssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

"I'd rather occupy my hands helping a hat make headway through a gale than coerce a channel changer from Dow to War, from worry to sin." My sentiments, exactly. You write with raw honesty. |
