DESERVING

Dreamers all will gather
Ensuring love's legacy
Survives in what matters
Each other, reaching for
Righteousness, relying on our
Vigilance, vigilantes
In hope
Nothing gets taken for
Granted

Hi Keith, yes I know you a little by now and am not suprised you took my effort, streamlined it and gave it more power and punch, love what you wrote and glad you like what I did, lol :) Not sure if this is the place to say that your reading of 'Images of Love' was so exquisite I couldn't comment, (not even to say that), sorry will revisit :) thanks for stopping by Keith, always wonderful to see you, much love b x

“Nothing gets taken for granted”

A beautiful acrostic Beki. Loved reading it. “Nothing gets taken for granted” You say so much in this one line Beki, seems quite philosophical to me(I read it in a different context). And I can see it, from this poem, how a simple conversiation about a birthday poem can inpire a beatiful piece like this. Sincerely, Wafi

Hi Wafi, thanks for the

Hi Wafi, thanks for the comment and the time you took to express it, you are always welcome here. I think the poem was intended to be quite philisophical, I wrote it after I made a vow to be more vigilant in love, tied in with a growning acceptance that I am 'deserving' of it, we all are. I'm so glad you liked it, much love b x

A very short write meaning a lot, it's quite lovely and touchy Beki. Light and love

Thanks Pap, glad you liked it, I enjoy the challenge of using as few words as possible to convey deep meaning and I am partial to this acrostic form, fun to play with, always moved hon when you find loveliness in me and my work, thanks again, much love, always b x
