Six, six, six. The message is beautiful, hope manifest and the power of the individual expressed. At a time in my life when I am understanding my identity, this poem is bountiful in motivation. Free flowing, necessary to exude the sense that form is unnecessary when one acknowledges their innate, personal beauty and path. Thank you for creating this.

Wonderfully true. I especially like the line, 'a witness to the awe'...because it's absolutely everywhere, if we but see. Lovely free verse, blessings....

It's what I call back to basics. We need to find what makes us happy and do it. Life can get us all tangled up in unnecessary stuff and we forget who we are. Your poem makes me think that we all need to remember to take care of ourselves, do the little things and remember that just because we're unique doesn't mean we're horrible people

Jackarrie,
Your beautiful free verse is an exceptional philosophical view. One in which all of us should heed. For dreams are in all of us, down the hall, just waiting for us to scale that wall. Jlsavell

Hello to your Mary and I hope you are fine;
-well if wisdom were plentiful and enriches you'd be the most wealthiest person alive today because of this writing.
-It is so true that the smallest of the smallest and the farthest of the farthest are most gratifying and obtain from one's heart and dreams that are created and believing they're all true and real: "be a willing beginner" and "a witness to the awe in the art of living". These words are the foundation and substance of your writing you have expounded on this within imagery that is so expressed in wonderment that your writing should do really well in the contest.
-I love the saying in your picture and it is so true with wisdom of "the most difficult times for many are the ones we give ourselves".
-Thanks for sharing and may you do very well in the contest is to receive the ribbon that is planted next to your poem.
-Take care and have a good one wherever you can find it.
Alex

Yes, our likes and dislikes--the ways in which we choose to express ourselves...
Of all of these, we are as unique and diversely made as the intricate structure one one individual snowflake.
But also like one sparkling snowflake, when we come together just as snowflakes do in a storm to embrace each other's individuality rather than scorn it, we can create a beautiful, pristine backdrop of purest white.

Lovely free verse offering from you, Mary.
