Nothing could be like her
sheer blue fire
nothing as beautiful
and as beautiful as nothing
as nothing is she that came before the shore
and sea
Some think her too generous with her light
too giving to the spreading stars
but so much brighter is she
that gives to others what she has
but so much brighter is she
that gives to others what she has
so they can shine
more brightly
more brightly
She makes me brighter
and now I see that before the first breath
was she
patiently encouraging a dream to reality
patiently encouraging a dream to reality
And when in a damp cold sweat
I lie quivering, shaking or scared by the unknown
or when in fear or uncertainty I withdraw
She comes and sits beside me
soothing me and smoothing out my lumps to
allow possibilities to be laid out evenly and clearly
Comforting and nourishing me
like tea and toast after a fever's gone away
like tea and toast after a fever's gone away
And calmly inspiring me, and reassuring me
that everything will be OK.

@vonyd- hi!,the 1st stanza is about a person I admire with the blue as in star blue heat which is very hot. the rest is about nothing and everything and feeling a part of both. That is a very uplifting poem on yur blog ( the tree)and a good way to look at things...omg what a gorgeous cat :)
this echoes Sylvia Plath's The Moon but in a different light. Yes this resonates pure light, something that does not expire. This is my first time here. Glad I found your blog :)
Saw this before class and it made me feel good about taking an exam, which is nothing short of a miracle. Love this. <3
Your words are simply beautiful.
LOVE!

@arian thanks, love both plath your poems ,and i love the way you use words. I think the way you insert them, they kind of explain themselves, but I was glad to look a few up and learn something
and I should probably do that to here and there :)

Absolutamente hermosa!
thanks trickie. I took spanish in HS & college,
and knew all the verb forms and had a decent understanding of the language but noone I knew spoke it. Slowly I forgot and i just know a few words now. For me language is use it or lose it, maybe if you speak two as a child it sticks more. usted es muy bonita y gracias para el comento :))
