Fire consumes dross

Life long needs unmet

Passion buried

In false guilt

Unworthy of love

Life in motion

Black and white

God in reality

Spasmodic joy

Volcanic tears

Mountain peaks

Sun kissed

Valleys shrouded

In sorrow



Fire refines

New birth

New hope

New love

Life revisited

Inside YOU

A beautiful mind

A generous spirit

A pure heart

I breathe your

Essence

Inhale your

Wonder

The love for me



A miracle arose

From ashes

Red rose blooms

Without thorns

Grace the field

Needs met

Passion erupts

Your eyes

Your lips

Your silken skin

Your words

Infinite joy

Paradise reborn

Life complete

Very sad when things don't work out quite the way someone planned them - though that is just a point of view of one - the other, is born, out of the fire and flames and as previously unknown - so miracles sometimes do happen - nicely put in every way :-))

Joy...
To feel
Arising inside us
What we've always
Known was there
Unafraid at last
To feel
To grasp
To clasp to our breast
Our dreams
Whether desire
Or darkness
Delight
To in the mirror
See us reflected
Whole
Not fractured
Beautiful
As we were
Always
Meant to be
To find our grace
So much better late
Than never

This poem seems to project a feeling of a brave new world...a personal rebirth...due to some bellwether even yu haven't shared, but are sure to remember always. We never forget those events that make us bloom into what we wished we could be...

Love is the greatest gift we can give and receive. Beautiful poem, Marianne.
