Such beauty from a quick pull-away wrap
that holds a squiggling undetermined grossness
seen from afar is fine
but up close and personal no
I would not have befriended you
knowing you might not have turned
as most of you do
into something almost disgusting
this beast that beauty makes
crawling on all fours or eights or hundreds
as if they had a secret,
which they might,
but I am waiting for this grand god
to make something of me
that I never expected
or metamorphous beast in you
back to who I thought you were

Oh but how many times have I felt like this. There are times when I know I should continue to become what God intended me to become, yet there is always someone that makes that hard. Lovely entry. Best wishes and God Bless...

Oh you are so right...I remember fearing being made joyful or having something awesome happen because it seemed like that is when the hardest negative forces came to bear.

Carol, I disagree with Tireseus...sometimes...a write like this, it helps someone else to be able to keep their own head above the cocoon...real life has real s**t, sometimes, and you have a sword of truth in your heart no matter your mood, in my opinion..so, thanks for this one...peace to you, Rhonda

Hey Carol, do not write poetry when you are in a bad mood, please?

Excellent. Shifts seamlessly from metaphor to meaning and back. Beautiful language and an arresting title.
