It takes different people to add perspective,
To step out from under our own umbrellas of thought,
And constant blathering of ideas, reinforced in time
To see the world from a perpendicular bent
And uncallous our hearts to love, removing friction
To remember that not all men are as sarcastic as we are
That people come in a variety of tins and boxes
Green comes in emerald as well as envy and jade.
Friends can be the sweet sunny spot by a window
Drowsy stretched with kitten paws and tails
That love doesn’t always taste like bitter hard bread
Sometimes the future is hopeful, not ugly
Rather than a cold, windy and lonely street
It’s a door bursting with stardust and warmth
And songs our hearts yearn to sing, just off our tongues
And everything we were made to know will be learnt
And only then we’ll realize it was all grace.

This is so beautifully written. You have a real talent.
Thought-provoking…thanks!
Leeward, stepping out of the rush of the fierce wind throwing at us all the impossibilities we face, and the pressures that others put on themselves and which affect us.
Thank you, again
I find this to be a beautiful poetic entry with almost perfect balance of words, metaphor, and thought. Sometimes, I get way behind in telling other people that they have written something wonderful, and if I can grasp a moment to get away and out of my own worries, what it is I need to accomplish in a day, or without an interruption from the phone or visitors to drop in, then I can find something beautiful to read.
On this perfect evening, I was privileged to find your wonderful writing on simple Grace, that which can only be given my a gracious Creator in its pure definition. You must keep this writing and share it always.
Thank You. Barbara Everett Heintz, Author of, “Pinkhoneysuckle,” which will be featured on a Time Warner broadcast of television; In Ohio, it is listed as B464 with Kathryn Raaker as my host.
What a beautiful poem! The perfect combination of words and wisdom. Hope to see more in future.
