Poem Artwork

like bookends on a soft red couch
my heels upon your hips
your feet upon my chest
I rub your toes and you go away
into a mind of lighter thoughts
 
lucid I feel my eyelids close
and see a woman in her garden
a ladybug lands upon her braid
and asks about the offering
 
like a fog between the there and then
and mist upon the now
I walk into a shallow stream
and balance on the pebbles
 
the ladybug lands upon my wrist
an offering again she does insist
compassion perhaps, I ask her
and endurance was her answer

Oh Debbie, do I love your poetry. First I have to tell you when I saw the title in my e-mail reminder I was amused, remembering the title of my father's favorite book about mountain climbing...grizzly at best. What an about face when I read your first line and you took me to the places my mind loves to go....as if i had slipped immediately into yours and wished desperately I could be so bold as to pen the places my mind so privtley takes me lest I smie and divulge them to the one my feet bookend. I have learned so much from this poem and your style, a direction I need dare to take. I thank you so much for your lesson and for your amazing gift of poetry. I want to put you on my people I have to meet in this lifetime list. Now, I just have to go back and read again and again. YUM!
Love,
Taylor

the metaphoric stamina of the ladybug offers a sense of renewal and rebirth bringing this poem into a balanced state of fruition ...

Fanatastic Write Debi with strong visions and images floating up from the paper as light as the wings of the lady bug you mention.

A full course meal is served on this poetic tray, and "endurance" sings life.

In admiration,
