Listening to every heart

Her Purpose

Tenacity and drive,
                  then soulful and in mourning,
we sense artistic severance
of a poet

in kind.

On some days, she is clarity;
                  other hours find her in scattered fractions,
a bit softer around the edges,
but puzzled at life, trying to pull pieces
together.

She binds me to her
with awe-tight love lines, her love,
                 her faith,
even in her shattered light lines ~

to thank God for her
         would be to underline her purpose here…

to teach, and guide
              through heartache, and losses,

counting blessings, she does,
like plucking petals from a daisy’s bloom

does He love me; yes, He does
even when love lights dim

she still finds her Purpose,
gilds the lily,
scents our senses,
soothes sorrows,
lifts lives,
and prays love forward.

~*~

for Martie, who won’t let me tell a very special fact…

Sunshine,
This is so befitting Martie, such beautiful person with a gorgeous heart. She's lucky to have you as a friend and visa versa! Beautiful poetry, Karilea!

That women can be so warm to each other, out of pure friendship, is both heartwarming and something that is simply foreign to men. We are the poorer for that. sigh Ken
