So many poignant lives that linger in my heart that has everything and nothing and laments on the minuscule and the grand. The seeds of life covered yet radiating their beauty, the warmth and joy and the terror and destruction all umbrellaed under the same canopy and yet so distant and cruel. Wonderful poem to wake up to and share dear Karima!

So glad you enjoyed this one, Cindy, and I am getting more convinced that I might be a better poet when I’m asleep.:) I love your gorgeous take on it too…and I have been truly down and out twice in my life ( for years) and I look back at these times so fondly. I learned to be very appreciative of anything, everything, and so grateful to be alive:) Thank you so much for your poetic comment. Hugs!!

I once got married
in the the great state of Chaos
where the currency is dysfunction
as everything
is either profit or loss
and love is just another orphan
on the cold streets of Bedlam
now I’m glad to say . . .
I’m forever married
in my new hometown
of Providence where abundance
is in the eye of the beholder
and in the hands of my sweet lover
❤️ 💛 ❤️
what no one else can see
what no one else can know
between my lover and me
there seems to be
this invisible golden glow
far greater than the sum
of two mortal hearts
it could only come
from somewhere high above
where no one else can see
where no one else can know
unless they’ve been touched
by that special kind of love
with a heavenly golden glow
❤️ 💛 ❤️
Thanks for your inspiration, Karima 🙏😎

Thank you Dawn and yes me too. I was my “highest” when I lived without electricty and most every convenience for 10 years in the very rural beach area when I first landed here.
