When I read G.A.'s piece "Misery of Woe" these words flowed as my reply. The piece is rough and it needs some polishing but I was asked to post it on it's own for all of you to enjoy. Thanks Greg for inspiration truely is the life breath of a poet.  No light pours in through tainted glass This love of woe has come to pass Though darkness grows with every hour My heart does seek the one with power To shine through darkness baring light Who fights for me with all their might Who's love is true and stong and sure Who loving look is all the cure and though I wait and though I look What sun does shine upon this book? It pages old and worn and sad But inside all will make you glad Just take a chance to look inside For all the wonder it can provide But many looked for just one page Some saw two but didn't gage The life there hidden in the words The life they sought amoungst the birds Where song is sung and joy is near But they just couldn't fight the fear And so the book with aged face Forever waits there in it's place. < !signature--> When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

I liked the image of the book in its place..just waiting to be picked up by someone who can really see what's between the words. Good work, Marilyn. Glad you decided to share this. I enjoyed it very much! Joy |

Great poem Marilyn. I love the metaphor of the book it works so well. Greatly enjoyed this poem... if this is what you call "rough" I'd like to see polished... Abrahm Simons "You... You are so special You have the talent To make me feel like Dirt" - Alice in Chains, "Dirt" |

such a lovely poem! I don't think you would need to do much more polishing, sometimes when the raw emotions show through, it is more beautiful than the polished cut stone... Cyndey |

This is a beautiful piece, Marilyn! I really enjoyed it. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |
