Very special lines from a very special pen. The communion they offer with the soul of another is of a rare order to be treasured and guarded. An exceptional write on every level.
"And remember that devils are but forgotten angels
Disguised as blackened doves"
Love these verses and the whole poem elicits wise thoughts. Thank you, Jude. Love and peace to you.
This is totally gorgeous, and the poetics are beautiful. It trims the sails for venture and conquest. Inspiring and invigorating, this makes me long for the huge dunes at Tarifa (sob!) and that Big Wave that shifts the continents like so much flotsam and jetsam on the mighty waters... and the pulse is strong, no worries! :)) Spirit's heart will win over all the arguments of the head EVERY time and will steer a true course through all the prevailing storms. When faith and vision come together in the will of God, nothing can stand in their way because their journey is fuelled divinely. I have been gazing out of my window today at the mellow fruitfulness which accompanies the dying and "sleeping"; all to nurture the new life which will emerge next spring. Evolution is a wondrous thing. So is this season in some of our lives, perhaps, which your gracious and bountiful words speak into. And love is the underpinning force by which the universe, as we perceive it, is maintained in its fruitful state... Bit tired, but I hope you get what I mean... LOL Kutty Sark Kate xx
You poem is so strengthening and inspiring, Jude. We must celebrate every moment we have on earth and know that our value is great. We have strength more than we ever have believed we could muster and faith abundant. This life is ours alone, yet we affect everything else in the universe through our presence.
Take care,
Sherry

Beautifully written with a draw to the subconscious...Your pulse is felt as though it is for one not all. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Oh, my word, Shaman Strudel. Knowing how the Den is with some folks around here who think our poetry is always about other poets on the Den, I suppose I'd better go on record here and say that the poem I just posted this morning "Dumb Bird" which mentions a "dove" and failed love is NOT related to this poem. That is, you posted this poem last night, EST (the Den's clock is PST), and I posted my poem in the middle of the night, actually this morning. First I posted it in my blog which will show as 12:XX AM something, but it was really 3:XX AM something here on the east coast. I woke up around 2:30 AM after falling asleep around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. This morning was the first time I read this beautiful poem of yours which speaks to me in a special way, NOT saying it's about me, but that it touches me on a weird level right now. What a cool coinkydink. You're just so spooky sometimes.
Gee, why did I go into this long explanation. Whoa! Haven't we been through the gossip mill enough? ROFL *smooches* Remind the girlfriend, I'm like so harmless. ~~Nordette
Life's momentum is pivotal to the heart's enduring song. Kindred spirits, pathfinders, healers, and other points of light guide us on the path of righteousness. Thank you for being among them, Jude. You shine bright.
you are one brilliant light, Jude. the warmth and energy in everything you write makes me - and I'm sure many others - believe that it is always possible to find the strength to raise the sail one more time. my salute to a captain of inspiration and a kindred spirit. Dawn
'...And never fret on the unknown...' It's said that our purpose is to make known the unknown ... become what we haven't yet been! Growing, expanding, embracing, learning, discovering ... and on!!

Jude I felt your spirit soar as I read this. Such a glorious psalm to elevate the heart and soul, spreading scintillating light over all. I'm in awe of such beauty! Bravo!
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
