Forty days and forty nights I have paced sea of mutiny erase grit of sand palate awaits no water to wine This chalice I hold is not mine Blood fills my cup and overflows the rim of wood carved by your own hands, like mine now stained by time finger to lips, "Hush, my sweet bride, stay close to my side." Now I lay me down to sleep I count my blessings as I keep a fearful watch of things to be like a promise torn to me My savior, are you listening? I need to see what lies ahead before I tread You asked your Father the same I recall, as I read Just let me know I need a puzzle piece to complete or a paradigm to trace even an outline of my face before I begin to completely erase what is left of me |

Littlewing, this is wonderful...in this poem, I saw pieces of poems I started and never completed. It is almost as if you sifted through the pieces and made my thoughts complete. I love this! I am keeping it...if you don't mind. Patricia |

We are all looking for that puzzle piece to finish the puzzle, and it is really hard when our prayers aren't answered the way we expected. Good write, Sue... “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Sue- If your writing gets any better, it is going to be considered one of the three preventors (Illegal, Immoral, or fattening) All great things are one of these three, and I have yet to decide which for this one... maybe all three?? We are all equal but we’re individually different |

You know when I saw the title I was sure it was going to be about chocolate fudge but my goodness! A double treat, free verse, and also this was truly pure divinity, the best kind, and much more important as it was food for the soul. This was beautiful and sorry I missed it before.

Just let me know I need a puzzle piece to complete or a paradigm to trace even an outline of my face before I begin to completely erase what is left of me I'm remiss...in telling you how well I think you convey your thoughts and that the talent you show in your writing is to be applauded... I'm remiss... but not oblivious and I do read you... and I do enjoy your words... |

(smiles) Oh Sue, I'm so happy I found this gem, sweet friend, I was just getting back from Ireland the time you posted this and I was wondering where it was hiding! (kiss on cheek) Mysteries are abundant in life, but believe in your heart He knows why and will begin to make the grand design seem more clear to you each day, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Sue, In this past year plus I find so many emotions packed into this incredible write that seems far beyond your years. Such eloquence and depth that touch the deepest parts of me must be so precious a prayer to God. Thank you for blessing my life in such a rich manner. A keeper for all times. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
