Hello there Jewell
This is a delightful piece. I love the word epiphany. January 6 was observed as a church festival in commemoration of the coming of the Magi, or as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles or in the Eastern Church in commemoration of the baptism of Christ. I'd like to think it shows a better awareness of our commitment to Him, to be the best we can be at all times. Nicely written
Bear

Hey girlfriend,

I really like this. I like the visuals here.
I'm just stuck trying to figure out who you are speaking to.
This is the line that through me off of my train of thought...

I know what is in you
even when blindness
to your own perfection
hinders your insight

This will make sense to me if you meant

I know what is in you
even when [my] blindness
to your own perfection
hinders [me seeing] your insight

???
:)
Maybe I needed to fill in the blanks.. :)

I'm trying to make this G-d and this line sounds human. LOL

Please make the music of your life
so enthusiastic
I'll want to dance
in your presence
and sing a new song

It's past my bedtime. :) My brain is fading... Nice job with this poem though. Great presentation. ~Yona

This is written for and to any. friend or reader. To humankind.
I love to draw from others a deeper sense of their being. It's like a challenge.

Feed me an epiphany ... I love the line and the thought it evokes!
Blindness to your own perfections ... must be a very humble, unusual person...

A really beautiful poem, visionary - well done!

Hi Jewell! Love the message in this beautifully written free verse poem. The thought in the last two lines, and the simile, is especially poignant. I also really like the presentation with the stunning art work and black background, although, for me, the piece would be easier to read in a larger font. Hugs, Sue

I admired your dramatic presentation and your reflections--in the picture, she appears to be conjuring up the magic you describe. I especially liked your repeated line and the circularity, along with the "river of life" and "appetizer" metaphors and "honey" simile. Smiles- Joan

Hi Jewel,
Well penned as my thoughts flow with your words I feel part of them.

I especially loved this section:

"I know what is in you
even when blindness
to your own perfection
hinders your insight " // Powerful understanding.

Thanks for sharing excellent job.
Maureen
