[After BRIDGES (2002), gesso-duro
relief by Bozena Happach]


Poem Artwork


Sometimes we create barriers.
Lack of a kind word, holding back, refusal?
A lingering resentment–– unfortunate turn of phrase?
Love and friendship suffer, when obscured by haze…

Yet a raised hand can halt the northern wind.
Or a child's presence? A smile? Tiny bridges…
But mostly open arms, that elusive grace
that comes from undemanding, maternal embrace.

Well written and to the point. I agree that we often create barriers, often invisible ones at that. Our attitude, sometimes unknown to us spills over in to our language, the words we choose which offer a river of grace or a wall of subterfuge.

Thought provoking excellence, Stan, one can't just skim this one. They have to read it and let the message soak in--well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
