As your children I am your life

Different dances similar stepsBody movements in joyMy love isAs one.Flower heads all bow to the sunBut move in the same breath ofLife .You know of me in your compassionIn your flowing action of love.One river many streamsMany places, one present and allAre here with me. I am all menI am all women , I am all faiths and allTraditions.Your face is my soul in motion.My dance your hearts beating.My garlands the flowers bloomedAs your children. I am your life.

Hi Barry

Playing with the placement of words, shifting the emphasis of meaning that only the writer truly understands and then the light of comment reflecting insights subconciously written. This one was an experiment indeed Thanks Seabhac

Ecstacy in life yes ,they are all there,children,flowers,sunlight and a soulful love. Formuala of a contented life perhaps or just wishful thinking. Seabhac

Words can be the greatest

Words can be the greatest form of suffering to endure. Glad you passed the gall stone, wondered what it was,must have been painful internaly, hope the medication helps. Seabhac shhh is that a forest I hear falling!

Hello Bonita

I visited your latest poem last night and was swept away with its beauty and I am reminded that I must revist and reread and perhaps then I might find the words to do justice to a beautiful piece of writing. How different the meaning in this if the title is reversed, a slight shift changes everything...isn't that true of life too Thanks Seabhac
