I do not know where this poem came from. It was one of those that found its way onto paper. hmmmm
I BELIEVE
Look into the mirror of my words And see my soul naked, unadorned All the heartbreak, anguish...pain All that I have lost... BUT THEN All that I have gained
Read between the lines Look through the night sky to the dawn. You'll hear the whispering of dreams - the rainbow threaded through the storm
Beautiful poetry, Chanti. This reads like golden links in a precious chain, seeing the end from the beginning. Or the co-ordinates of a nautical map, plotting the lines of adventure and the course of the Ship of Life as she makes her way across dangerous waters, yet assured of safe harbour at her journey's end. I BELIEVE in this and in you, too! You are a wonderful poetess of the heart and soul! :)) PS... thanks for lovely message. I will certainly check it out! xxx
outstanding! Vivid, emotional, thought provoking...like you, I believe in hope.

A gently crafted poem that portrays the angst and hope in one wide -arcing sweep. As you say in the verse itself 'Read between the lines'.
You are naked, unadorned. You wish people to see you as you really are, to look beyond the facade, beyond the obvious. But you are also searching for the answer to a question that you are yet to know.
Curiously searching but softly worded verse Chanti. Well done.
'You'll hear the whispering of dreams
the rainbow threaded through the storm
I Believe'
That just sums up the purpose
of life. There is hope! Just awesome, loved it.
Chanti,
What a wonderful thing that this poem has found its way onto paper, as it is an absolutely beautiful inspirational reflection. I, too, believe that we always gain from loss, as hard as it may be to nurture such belief, at times.
Thank you so much for your visit to my den, I loved my visit to yours and am looking forward to returning.
Love&Light

Splendid, this is a FANERIFIK write....Most uplifting, and clever..
A.D. is STILL not notifying me of your poetry. My tracking system
is a colossal failure for the past few weeks!
Not so, however, this exquisite work of art in prose that set my
emotions tingling! And the graphic that goes with it. That is your
signature on that vibrant painting, is it not?
Both pieces...masterpieces...and they will be treasured. They have
touched this poet deeply.
now i know why your name is chanti. your writes are hypnotising! this is sheer brilliance! i LOVE LOVE LOVE that last line, particularly--strong, beautiful imagery throughout but that last line...*whew* did it
