"within a tomb of safety,"
Love the juxtaposition in this phrase.
We are commanded not to look back as we plow are rows, and the layered summation of your last line illustrates this well.

Joyce,
It's so true..the Creator places seeds of Instruction into us, when He breathes us into being. Discovering them, and living them out - to fulfillment - is an amazing adventure, call Life, amen?!

How adeptly you have described the experience, Sister!
Love&Hugs, Rhonda

I always told my kids that the "doing" is not what they should dread, it's the it "not doing" that brings a stagnate life, they should fear. Beautiful piece, Joyce!

This write can really trigger the spirit to search out the hidden "Craving" within ourselves...

"innocence remains intact..." this line got me really pondering on the truth of the matter...isn't it amazing how this stays intact?...a gift! for if our memories were to change and become "matured", so to speak...they wouldn't be as treasured...
It also makes me think of how we are to "become like a little child...", in the biblical sense..."Craving" the innocence of our spirits when our spirits were so free...free to love, free from prejudice and judgement...
Excellent write Joyce...this was very well thought out and written
Love and Peace~

Anticipation is the descriptive word I get from this poem, Joyce. Like 2 lovers who have taken a vow of abstintence, they are almost at the point of no return, sometimes., then they remember the purpose of their anticipation. Very well written! Kudos to you!!

Joyce, we live our lives in the way we are taught as youngsters whether it be from a wonderful Mother or a marvelous teacher, aunt or uncle. These examples will follow us through life. This reminds me so of myself...I try to always live by the examples I was given in my life and to strive to achieve the best that I can. My first selection was to put God first in my life and then to follow HIS words. We make mistakes but we don't cop out and make more, we try to resolve them and try again. This is a wonderful poem...so well stated and in a sincere voice.

If Hanibal hadn't tried, his elephants would have never cross the Alps and we will be looking at a different Roman Empire history.
To try what seems unpossible and accomplish our goals despite of the odds agains it, is to succeed, even if we weren't even near the top.
Good cravings.

My friend told me her mothers always
Push her to keep trying when she wanted to quit

some day you will accomplish what you seek in life!
So keep on...Joyce you are a very talented Poetess
And you will " reach desires quenched "

This is beautiful, Joyce. I know the feeling of always craving for new discoveries as a new day is born. For me there's never a dull moment, for I don't allow man's rules and regulations stop me from discovering who God intended me to be. One thing I have learned on this journey of discovery is: "I know who I am. The God who made the universe, knows who I am. It doesn't matter what others say or think about me, God loves me." So I make mistakes, grow from them, and laugh at myself when I mess up. Yes, I've learned how to let go...
Enjoyed this write, Joyce.

God Bless
Much love
Lena
