    Feather-veins of Gold

     Only warmth and gratitude linger in my thoughts
    Cherished are the lessons that drew to me the hermit card
    In going beyond your expectations I found feather-veins of gold
    My path is one in which I seek to find the good of all things
    I've been able to do that
    In you I find beauty that inspires me
    No anger nor rage do I hold
    The lies you wanted to teach me boundaries with have instead become my steps beyond separation
    You felt you needed falsehood in order to enter my gates
    Yet, with honesty I've taken residence in your bosom gladly washing the dust from your feet
    I've learned to flourish in your unceasing attempts to define me and how I should feel
    Yet, I hover in the stillness where your heart beats
    For there is where you've shown me to hear your unspoken truths 
    The crumbled aspects of my life are directions onto an opening path
    Do not look to me for scorn or derision
    Compassion dwells as constant companion
    You've help me take a deeper soul-view
    It isn't blindness that guides me but sight
    Sight of that which you keep locked deep inside not allowing to breathe with me
    In the quietude of spiritual allowance I am free
    Free to engage my wit and curiosity
    I have found your light
    I cannot forsake it
    Neither will I look away
    I am not ashamed nor are you forbidden
    In our definitions of each other we have failed
    We've stumbled now in a field where we cannot define
    For we are always becoming
    I permit truth to reside however it unfolds itself
    Surely I've not traveled in your shoes though at times I wish I was the leather that caressed your chosen path
    No need to ask me if you have a chance
    The answers remain the same
    I am in you
    And you are in me
    Because of that I Am blessed

    I love this. That is really all I can say. Every line of this screams feelings I have been happily familiar with. Experience is the essence of wisdom... Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

    The picture immediately told me that there was a story to be told - the words starting pouring fourth feelings from the first lines and your prose combined so many lines that linger that I was soaking it all as I put the pieces together of your thoughts and feelings..."We've stumbled now in a field where we cannot define, For we are always becoming". Definitely a 10

    Yes, a beautiful picture it is, though I was not positive it belonged in this piece, yet I instinctively feel it does. Glad you enjoyed the write, it is heartfelt to one I love most dearly. So much wounding is done in our attempts to define one another when in truth few are stagnant hence "always becoming". Appreciate your scoring.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
