a variation on a theme....
we've done first line/last lines in writing a continuous poem,
well, here you can choose any line, or no line, for inspiration...
I'll begin with a slightly edited and re-shaped poem I wrote this past autumn.


the courage to face and embrace each new day
is an incredible blessing taking us all the way
from start to finish
and onto the next round
for when we feel our truth
there our love can be found
though we all have our times
when stress can bring us down
where we might wear a frown
confused with what's going on
or letting go can be real slow
wishing we didn't feel sorrow
yet with each moment there's also the chance
to remember the beauty of life's precious dance

collecting the memories,
each treasured bit
some are bloody
some encrusted with tears
the best ones have taken root
and a lovely garden grows

I like this thread, Taurok! (insert hug emoticon here)

the blossoms divine
that all intertwine
create the most elegant
meandering vine
like a triffid it climbs
then reaching right in
forever beseeching
heart loving passion
forever increasing
soul grown compassion

Oooops! (Big Oops!) Thank you for the thread, Moon Willow! The name change suits you.

soul grown compassion
revealed
in the most mysterious ways
enter the wild
the unexpected
where the wild things are
stretch into the cave
that secret place
inside the heart
where buried seeds lie
germinating, pulsing
waiting to burst forth
cobwebs tremble
can you hear the roar?
compassion is loudest
when most active

Haha, thank you for the reminder, Moon.
