There may be a sprinkle of Christmas stardust
sparkling up this poem
a dash of King James and a pinch
of sudden birth miracles
but at the heart
is a love song
extolling the magical power
of weaving words into a spell
a raven haired girl, or maybe a red-head
whose sunrise and sunset couplets
plumbed the ocean's abyss
and burrowed deep under your skin
then settled and nestled
with the rest of your treasures.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Michael,
well Brother, read this before and didn't get the chance to review it, or maybe just wanted to keep it for when I had the arsenal to reward such sweet and tender tones... and with the words being amplified by the sweet angel's voice how could this magic not have exceptional wrapped around its girth?
You start with such an effect visual... yes, the animation of the stars sprinkled the desired magic all over the words of... faith, hope and belief to our inner knowing... yes, beautiful work here Brother... and of course it goes without saying what I think of the way you weave in your word combinations... yours is a special heart.
With our thoughts we create,
the depth of our intention,
James.

Comment from Joan E.
I adored the star dropping babe and your references to the "wishbone" and "sunken treasure"! Your alliteration of "b's" added intensity to this spiritual poem. Cheers- Joan, from Japan

J is there not a continent you've not placed your pretty foot upon. Japan...what a lucky Girl...okay lets see what do I need this time...um oh yes of course...bring me back a Geisha please...love Michael
-
I know how lucky I am--yes, Antarctica made all the continents. I haven't seen a real geisha so far, just lots of ladies in costume! Smiles from Japan- Joan
-
ah real is more or less...just make sure she's quite....I'm not picky....haha
-
The only problem is I'm not sure you'd like the squeaky voices--the young Japanese women seem to be trained to speak like chipmunks! LOL -Joan
-
its fine J...i'll inhale some helium....bring her...-wink-
-
You'd best get a huge tank! : 0
On a more serious note, our trip really became worth it today, with fantastic autumn colors. We always hear about cherry blossom time, but this seemed more special with the range of colors and the magnitude of the forests. More hugs- Joan
-
ew i know...its wonderful. I've had this recurring vision ever since I was a child. a sudden revelations chorus that I was chosen...time stops in eerie dream state, classical music orchestrates homage paid, and the air fills with slowly drifting cherry blossoms that surround and gently kiss this skin of a Prince in cascades of pinkish- white worship...Oh I tell you its marvelous...marvelous is the baptism of destiny J...look closely and you shall see me in the midst...dancing....-wink-
-
Thank you for sharing your "baptism"--it is marvelous! Big hugs- Joan

"and darkness is shadowed forever"
I find this an intriguing line, especially considering the spiritual topic. Christ certainly is the light that shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not.
I take it the woman that you never knew is Mary. She certainly has touched a good many lives.
I love how you bring the theme full circle by using the same lines in the beginning and ending stanzas. It adds to the theme of God's love being one eternal round.
Well done, abounding with symbolism and metaphor throughout.

thank you jax...-smile- yes His birth...and then again in us. I always remember the ah true story of ...Jesus and Peter...oh how he loved Him....jealous for Him...with his very life he pledged loyalty, though all others shrunk....and he meant it. We see that when he cut the Roman soldiers ear off...he was aiming for his head...i believe. but we know he did "shrink"...in the face of unimaginable ah horror. but....and heres the part that separates men like sword....Jesus comes back to him...ya know just a mess, having been warned and seeing the prophecy realized...worm was his name. and ah yet...he sees a long lost familiar figure sitting by a fire waiting for him...calling him in from the sea. and we find Jesus...serving His best friend , His betrayer...the Rock He would build His Church upon. Do you know why...? because I promise you ...Peter would never betrayed Him again...ah sorry I got carried away...love Michael

"The idea of my recent book number 30 "Broken Pieces" came from the fact that in my convalescent state of non-mobility, I had a lot of time to heal as well as write."
"I have written many thousands of grieving poems and stories about circumstances about similar events as well as other thoughts."
"This is a collection of pain, agony, suffering, and depression laced with a little cinnamon, sugar, and not-so-nice!'
...
"In today's sorrowed world, an accident happens several times a moment and a price will have to be paid...
"Unfortunate people never regain their fullness but for me this is not a stumbling block as the eighteen inch titanium rod buried deep within my right leg has given me a chance to share my thoughts in an amazing writing mode!"
From the book 'Broken Pieces' I present chapter 36 called...
"Cursed or Blessed Beings?"

...

Against insurmountable odds...
"If I only knew...

"If I had only knew again as I write on this library computer and read what I wrote earlier today, with a pen!"
Amen...
...
"Can a child of only two be religious?"
"Why not for god had sent me a "Gift from Above" created by his my wife and my love."
"Why a gift you may ask?"
"Well Carolyn was never supposed to be able since and operation when only seventeen ruined her fallopian tubes in the 60's."
"And it would take eighteen years for me to finally put all of the pieces together in Jay's amazing but tragic life...
...
"He grew up into a fine young man stocky and over-weight desperately seeking a chance for just a date....
"But Jason's destiny was long cast and He realized in the very end it was past...
"I have a picture taken to prove it only twenty minutes before he would be flung into a coma with un-curable brain damaged...
...

...
"Jason [while in high-school} was a basketball player and won three trophies, a musician and *percussionist, cutting his own Cd's called "Jason's Hot shit" as well as dreamed for a carrier as a mechanic."

...
"On March 31st, 2003 Jason [only a junior] would not qualify to be on the senior class trip to Disney world but did qualify [do to a miss-diagnosis by a stupid kinder gardener teacher to ride as a passenger with a seventeen maniac dead set on destroying himself!"
"Unfortunately, Jay died and Brian lives on."

"As for myself?'
"Well, you can imagine...
"I was born October 24th, 1954 in Newport Rhode Island."
"And I was born to two parents with beginning drinking problems."
"Dad {Edward} was a soon to be 26 year retired and well decorated Naval Chief while {Florence} my mother dearest was more like Joan Crawford or "Mommy Dearest!'
"At an early age {as I turn this Page} I was well on my why to Hell!"
"I dumped or threw out dad's booze and {when caught} punished by marching in place with 1,000 lashes!"
"Yes, dad loved us but the booze more!"
"I guess you can blame it on the Navy?"
"A bottle and woman in every port as you "See the World!"
"Through a bottle of booze!"
"WOW....
"Lets take a vow...
"Now do you pledge allegence to this bottle of booze?"

"I owned my house clear took on the responsibility of two new and instant step-daughters as my own three} would briefly follow...
...
"But the "Winds of Descravation" had blown my way and Jay passed from a nasty accident and Carolyn followed only eight shot months later...
"That was in 2003 but could it get worse?"
"They say there is a "Silver Lining" in every cloud but for crying out loud my clouds never went to "Silver Lining School!"
"Yes I guess I too had not been born with "A Silver Spoon in my Mouth" but perhaps a tarnished one up my ass!"
"After realizing these problems and more, I put my depression [temporarily} in my back pocket dragged myself out of that Pit!"
...
"Sucessful, I had to re-invent myself."
"{Which I did by the "Grace of God"} and a desire to leave my enourmous waste of depressions and grief on paper."

"My first poem "Buddy friend" won me a silver bowl and my Whole name on it!"
"Many other gifts such as that would come and fill a desk and wall in my study."
"Could it get worse?"
"They say there is always a "Silver Lining" but like Jay I was not born with "A Silver Spoon!"
...
"After realizing the problems my dear but departed wife of mine...
"Left behind like bills, bills, and more...
"I decided to put my depressions and depressive abilities to mote in a moat!"
"And I set out in my boat and decided to sail the seven seas and see what I could see?"
"Danced all night and swam in the ocean till daybreak even during Hurricane Irene in 06!"
"Picked up a few more tricks too as I again began to write again my reviewer friend!"
"And write I did!"
"Amen!"
...
"Books and books by the hundreds!"
"{Some partial} while others waiting...
"Damn is my brain dissinagrating?"
"For a publisher or two to share my amazing and gifted points of view!"
...
"Sucessful again but perhaps I need to {re-invent myself?}
"So, I left all of my GRIEF, DEPRRESSIONS,and PAIN from the past on paper instead of attached to me!"
"Yes my very first and dedicated poem to Jay and hois friends "Buddy Friend" was a launching pad from Him and His Dell and yes, it came back in 2006 and I almost died and went to Hell!!!!
But I'm back to stay with a new and shiny 18 inch titanium rod in my right leg from that cursed October 11th *accident...
"And yes my fifth on bicycle, two on motorcycle and one in my stinking Lincoln...

"Many other gifts such as that would come and fill a desk and wall in my study."
"Could it get worse?"
"They say there is always a "Silver Lining" but like Jay I was not born with "A Silver Spoon!"
...
"After realizing the problems my dear but departed wife of mine...
"Left behind like bills, bills, and more...
"I decided to put my depressions and depressive abilities to mote in a moat!"
"And I set out in my boat and decided to sail the seven seas and see what I could see?"
"Danced all night and swam in the ocean till daybreak even during Hurricane Irene in 06!"
"Picked up a few more tricks too as I again began to write again my reviewer friend!"
"And write I did!"
"Amen!"
...
"Books and books by the hundreds!"
"{Some partial} while others waiting...
"Damn is my brain dissinagrating?"
"For a publisher or two to share my amazing and gifted points of view!"
...
"Sucessful again but perhaps I need to {re-invent myself?}
"So, I left all of my GRIEF, DEPRRESSIONS,and PAIN from the past on paper instead of attached to me!"
"Yes my very first and dedicated poem to Jay and hois friends "Buddy Friend" was a launching pad from Him and His Dell and yes, it came back in 2006 and I almost died and went to Hell!!!!
But I'm back to stay with a new and shiny 18 inch titanium rod in my right leg from that cursed October 11th *accident...
"And yes my fifth on bicycle, two on motorcycle and one in my stinking Lincoln...
"So am I or my late Son Jay...
"Cursed or Blessed Beings?"

Love this poem, Michael and the repetition of the first and last verses. Some of the imagery is spectacular - showing faith in religion, destiny, good and evil, to name just a few of the themes that shone through your terrific verse. Plus how on Earth do you get an animated photo at the top!? Best wishes. Hugs, Pete :)
