A Serenity Prayer She stands among the presence of a prayer There at the garden gate “Voici, mon pere” in silent whisper which only she can dedicate… Velvet scratches are her voice, As afternoon light comes dappling her skin, Little slivers are her stigmata As we see her light within… Slowly sparking the gypsy To speak again, With voices rendering the last call To come dancing Though they be scary smooth… Slowly she is losing paint As the Mississippi rises steam And weary is she, erased Of God knows what little sin… But the sentence stands There alone in blue chalk dust As Sunday Service Calls to her in shades of Amadeus With wine, and me… Her hand held out, she touches me As if to impart a word, But My Father knows as do I That she flies alone, and free. ~*~ Some poets take a lot of time in creating titles that can stand alone as a poem...this is an example of the titles [in italics] created by Serenity...which lend themselves alone to wonderful thoughts, and much needed inspiration. Serenity? Thank you, my dear....for letting me borrow a little so I could give it back to you.... hugs.... [This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-07-2003 08:37 PM).] |

Mad? who me? laughing with glee... It never occurred to me to try this with MY titles...grin...and? me and the cap once shared a good laugh about my titles--I'm pretty sure we both voted for my worst as this: "If wishes were fishes, mine would smell bad..."  gawd I love you guys, thank you Kari, for the yummy compliments. Love ya lady!  |

Karilea - this is wonderful. Yes, our serenity does have some great titles to go along with her heartfelt writes. You have taken some of them and created a banner to wave at a very strong poetess. hugs to you for this, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Gosh, almighty. This was an absolute treat to read! I can only imagine what a thrill and keepsake poetic treasure this must be for Serenity! The coming together of two of my favorite poets! As I read your poetic tribute, snippets of some of Karen's poems came to mind, adding to my enjoyment! Lovin' hugs to both of you! You are both so special! Linda xoxo |
