A lover of the carriage ride Through Central Park To glimpse a glimpse of Paradise Is not what humans are Rowdy guide…interpreter A latter-day of saint Guides us to an elusive realm Where solace trades with grief To peer into one’s spirit To know their mind The challenging prospect Of just how irrelevant we are I touched the flame Slept with salve And the foaming dogs of wounds Forcing the imagination to believe Less in miracles But by finding art, sense and empathy The ease became garishness Drawing me in different ways Lacking expectation Quietly smoldering under repeated humiliation It speaks with uncertainty and in two minds Committing the sin of imaginative energy Collectively, an intensity, central to the find First to wake upon the wounds Fills with aspiration...concession Attachment to a rare elation I give, I give... Language of love most rare This sound of balance and path In thoughtfulness, born of the publisher Of easy buoyancy consistent And nowhere else on earth Bleeds of true distinction Never moving toward an end Neither wants to reach When and if we gift the flower Praise in such received~ Sing of not the sin of life Known the hand of blessing sent Is not a jewel of make believe But of what one gives beyond, what can be seen [This message has been edited by LeeJ (01-06-2005 08:56 AM).] |

"When and if we gift the flower Praise in such received~ Sing of not the sin of life Known the hand of blessing sent Is not a jewel of make believe But of what one gives beyond, what can be seen" I too must highlight the ending. Wonderful writing and insight. |

What one gives - beyond - yes, giving goes on giving even after the initial act, as is what is given to us - karma - definitely - and I think too how we receive or view what is given to us - Lots to chew on in this - SusanEvery action generates a force that returns to us in like kind . . . let us choose compassion and love |
