It forces it between thought and deed:
the seed of urgent feeling:
that Angel spelt as such in Afrikaans
means stinger, thorn, sudden surprise.
It forces it unexpectedly,
as thorns do,
without sense or meaning.
A prick to pour blood
on the white of rose ...
or a reminder:
to feel the wonderment of pain
when skin gives way;
to realize once again:
life is humane;
yet: in Love divine
prick's Angel is regained.

Thoughts are the seeds to deeds -- no matter in what language.

Congratulations on the HM. And emotion is the lubricant that keeps the machine moving even when there is friction between thought and deed.
Sincerely,

One can never be disappointed in anything you write, Myra, and this is no exception. Its always deep and rich in meaning, aside from revealing an exquisite talent for the written word.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Smallish Thing
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times~ I am Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest You took the prompt and ran with it~ Bravo!!
When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~ I have to say- when I read Your words: A prick to pour blood on the white of rose- I was reminded of the volunteers who go into quarantined villages- also are exposed to diseases with no known cure to help the helpless- people many have abandoned- segregated~words: the seed of urgent feeling- I'm shown how there are levels of urgency- one person's definition maybe insignificant to another~ but to give- calls for urgency I'm also being shown two hands cupped waiting to receive rice in hand- as if Gold
Love the direction You took this quote Hopefully my words make some sense Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
when skin gives away;
to realize once again:
life is humane
Empowered Voice spoken~

with much love and light~ Desire~*~

...and he gently removed the thorn from the foot and bathed it, dressed it and kissed it for no one is unworthy of the greatest love nor anyone higher than it C
