Gifting Oneself & Remnants

 

 

 

Gifting Oneself

Missing image


It's an honor
    to speak with those who Know
    & don't mind sharing
    secret & sacred paths to Truth.

There is a chance for unlimited knowledge
    & unique perspective
    that can only be found
        Here & Now ---

seek & you'll discover
    epiphanies without end...

There are so many voices,
    raw with longing
    to be heard---

there are so many hearts
yearning for the Wisdom
    of Wings...

Remnants

Missing image 

Remnants of oceanic memories

drift within waves of thought,


surging forward

to softly caress starlight

with infinite imagination,


illumination from night's

gently hued & hewn horizon,

lovely

in its presence & meaning.

I have been guided

throughout Time's tempest,

swaying with sunlit souvenirs,


swirling

& lost

within the sea's pulse.

We are simply shells


overflowing

with beautiful souls

trembling


as the currents

carry us all

towards a different, distant shore,

our echoes resounding

with serenity & strength...

    I feel a lot of spiritual fervour and enthousiasm in your first poem ... a flame that burns brightly and seeks to be shared ...

    in your latest poem, I feel a resonance of deep peace, surrender and peacefulness ... a heart appeased by the joy of sharing itself ...

    much love,

    maa

    Oh do you not see how much deeper you go to express your soul? I certainly do. Both poems are stupendous, but there is a higher level of writing going on in this second one. Bravo!

      And the difference is clear, my Sister; it rests largely within the company I keep. Thank you for your contributions to my spiritual growth, Carol. And for hosting. Love you, Woman. Wanda

    secret & sacred paths to Truth...There is a chance for unlimited knowledge

    Truth - if truth exists - needs neither secrecy nor a mantle of pseudo 'sacred' ... while unlimited knowledge seems to be the simple glow beaming from Wanda's eyes ?

    And it's an honour to read these poems, especially that first one from way back in June 2004 (that was about the time I met you here on AP, my friend). Both these poems sing of your talent and your giving. Beautiful times two!!

    A Happy New Year to you - and of course, many more poems like these!

    Though you have evolved, I find BOTH of these to be simply stunning! Your gift is evident throughout ALL your work, be it recent or past. The imagery is consistent, as is the stellar use of both metaphor and language. Both are so beautifully penned, dear one. Your talent and heart shine through in every line....every word....every poem! Once again, I bow to your unending talents, my friend. Brava!!
