Lessons Learned

I'm here with my broad attention
cherishing each precious
burned into my looking back
tomorrow's dreams are homeless
today is the fragile of sustain
the beauty and wonder of imagining
the night is a blossom in crescendo
I am here curious
and there are you the sum of your delight
you have taught me of your superior
I bow and scrape with unusual
and sing your song of whisper
and still . . .

Well, this first line got my attention, and I discover a breeze coming in the window of this poem. What a novel line: "burned into my looking back". "today is the fragile of sustain" presents freshness of wording that raises my eyebrows with appreciation. Same with "I am here curious" which I would like to have painted on a purple T-shirt, front and back. No, wait...on the front only, and on the back: "and there are you the sum of your delight". Those two phrases curl my already curly hair. This is a terrific piece of writing, Jerry. Makes me "scrape with unusual". Absolutely fabulous is "scrape with unusual." Thanks ~~ Diana

You're a magician with words
and everyone is left to ponder about your words

well done Jerry

Perhaps a crescendo from
yesterdays finding a home
in your tomorrows being
the lesson learned? *Jerry*

Of striking resemblance to a glacier where fragments of ice unpredictably break away and become again its own origin of water. So too, most lessons learned are merely tomorrows remembered today, the vertical vortex of time cycling understanding until we get it.

nice, yet like joy...i wait for the 'restofthestory'

A very thought provoking poem ... will there be more to add on to this interesting offer? The work almost begs for additional words; don't keep us in suspence, Jerry Very well done.

Interesting write, like Budd says...
But NO-ONE is superior as a human
There are those not in human form
that are and not of this earth.

Good write for others to think about

Love and Light
