Black Eyed Susan

Missing image

We all sang one lover’s foolish song,

but she always hummed to our background another song.

Not of contemptuous fate, but rather of

Amazing Grace.

 

I sensed a singing in her “I’m myself”, wrinkled face. 

She was too pure to be viewed jealously.

 

Herself,

was always the anti-antihero,

ceaselessly willing to enfold the entangled

“Backward Christian Soldier” with gentle grace. 

 

Come, look at her singing twin siblings.

Come, sing with unclogging, decongestant laughter.

Catch your heart-breath in her sensitively expressed amusement.

Her shining eyes & invisibly flushed-deep-red ears sweeps clean every observation.

 

Quite fully alive and transfixed in the rapture of her encompassing,

paper-cup, wise gaze.

I was always the proud one that could always catch her 97-year-old,

two beautifully perched black hole raven eyes.

 

God’s peered back at her from unwithered,

enciphering star-filled skies.

Please tell me what you think

    Your opening line grabbed my attention to keep me reading...Yes, she would be humming Amazing Grace!
    One of the most uplifting of all writes I have read, Tim.....from beginning to end I think of a woman

      We notice only what we are. She is I and I am her, in our souls on God's chest, we both are. :0)
