*fragrant With Heaven Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas
*fragrant With Heaven
Every day is folded around
A soft center, fragrant with heaven.
To unwrap that moment
Carefully peeling back
The petals of every-day routine
To find this nougat of wisdom
Is the poet's work.
Today it may be
A sulfur flitting across my path,
Brushing my cheek by accident.
Tomorrow it might be
Bark of a crepe myrtle
Curling at the foot of the tree
As it outgrows this year's skin.
Or tears of a child in pain
Kissing my hand
As I carefully unwind bandages
Over her burns,
the only wild bouquet
She has received in the war zone
Of her hard life.
This poem had its genesis in a very compassionate heart. I love the little girl for the strength of her fragility.10/10. Warm wishes, Sandra
Life is a war zone that we fight everyday. This poem touches me because I can actually identify with most of it. Thank you for sharing. A 10+++++ Love & hugs, Barbara
