The Greatest Miracle 1-4 Poem by Margaret Alice

Hot Chocolate Liquid Love 1.

This morning luxuriating in Leo Buscaglia who
ran a love class at university since love is the
core of life, living, sex, growth, responsibility,
death, hope and the future

People guiding each other in love as delicate as
Chantilly lace, a professor said love is irrelevant,
but one look at PoemHunter destroys that fallacy;
never try to define love

Definitions delimit love acting as a mirror reflecting
each other, see the reflection of infinity in love for
one another; with a glass of hot chocolate as
liquid love to give a great start to this day!

Quoted from The Introduction, pp.2-3


The Greatest Miracle 2.

You can only give away what
you have, if you have love,
you can share it

I could teach you everything
I know and still retain all
my knowledge

It is possible to love everyone
with equal intensity and still
retain all my love energy

There’s many miracles to being
a human, but this must be the
greatest miracle

Of them all!

A Flame Of Delight 3.

Buscaglia tells how to reinforce
gorgeous, tender, loving human
beings: Care about yourself, all is
filtered through you, the greater
you are, the more

You have to give, with greater
understanding, you can become
the most fantastic, beautiful,
wondrous, tender person
there is

With a mind so big, it is filled with
exciting dreams; we are so much
less than what we are - desire to
grow by directing your power at
growing, feeling, touching

And smelling, leaving no boring
second; technological life is very
boring to me because my senses
are never required to touch, feel,
smell and hear

Only my eyes look at pictures and
words, searching the most beautiful
to convey wondrous ideas with
rhythm and melody, never seeking
negative descriptions

Buscaglia ignited a flame of delight
in me; I continue the process of
becoming devotedly…

A Mentally Retarded Eel 4.

Something unique determines how you
project in this world, how you alone see
it, but we’re dropping uniqueness by not
persuading people to discover and
develop it

Education should help everyone discover
their uniqueness and teach how to develop
and share it - the only reason for having
anything – we should be saying show
me your difference

I will learn from it, but we try to make
everyone like everybody else - as in
Animal School, a rabbit, bird, squirrel,
fish and eel wrote a curriculum for digging,
running, flying, swimming and climbing

Insisting ALL animals take ALL subjects,
the rabbit got brain-damaged from tree-
climbing and stopped running, the bird
broke his wings by digging and stopped
flying, while class valedictorian was

A mentally retarded eel who did everything
half-way – a broad-based education we
force on our kids just as it was forced on
us, to this day I can’t do arithmetic,
never mastered knitting

For that reason I was deemed brain -
damaged also, but I held onto my
tree, going into dreaming…
