I open you in difficulty
and I know that’s right or where it should begin
but I hold stones in my belly,
offer little substance other than what plays.
And I know a good poet ends in wisdom
but you won’t learn anything from me.
Still today is beautiful, though sore and needing
and I will write about my acceptance and pulls,
all their selfishness and bleeding.
And I'll close you with a sandstorm just the same.

good poets, don't always end in wisdom...(I typed that like I KNOW, huh?) I think there is very little that ends in wisdom...so many of truth's mountains, are just grains of sand, constantly re-aligning.

I love yer thoughts...

Perhaps a good poet doesn't always end with wisdom, but I'm sure they always end in truth, and there's always alot to learn in truth, right?

Powerful ending Alicia, absolutely Wow. I can't explain what your poetry does to me, but I know I love the feeling

You're amazing you know that? yes? good!!

hugs you.

This is the first of your work I have read, Alicia...and I'm sure glad that I stopped in for a read...
I hadn't realized what I'd been missing!

I will come back and read more of yours from now on...theres just so many great poets here, its hard to keep up.
