Today I saw the rain landings pregnant with drops of love
saturating empty riverbeds
The sky sang
The pinecones swam in the wind
All the while peaty soiled-souls tried to stay alive again.
Today I saw the rain landings pregnant with drops of love

All the while peaty soiled-souls tried to stay alive again.
No greater Gulf between hell and I
Perhaps the rupturing twilight
could speak
For I never saw a man with holes in both hands and still be alive
Betrayed for pennies of fear
Ah-that Christ must die
watching the dust
settle, under seeds that
refuse to do any thinking of growing
For I never saw a man on fire and not be turned to ash
weakened by devicely
pleasures,
the serpents’ crawl
bitten with just one kiss
I pray to understand
these wages of sin has given dollars of death that do not spend
Upheaving Justice, that suppose our souls, wern’t worth the saving!
Here I am -again,
if we can’t overcome
and we can’t ever overstand,
Then what’s a man gotta do to get a little water his thirst!
For I never saw a man whose only kingdom was the cross
Some men have it all, some are lost,
some earn their freedom, and others shout crucify ,crucify
For I never saw a man,forgive like this
Filtered and pushing into the dark abyss
Great drops of blood ,
if only this, cup could pass, then earth would shake with witnesses beyond the mass
No greater gulf between Hell and I
For I never saw a man with holes in both his hands and still be alive…
She wore her cotton purpled sash squares through each yard.
For I never saw a mother with such a discerning eye.
While the day withered from sunshine to bitter night.
For I never saw a mother feed the dead.
In her kitchen with each tool and recipe,
sweeping rounded pipes of potted meat
For I never saw a mother with such a piercing look
tumbling in and out of oven-soot.
Her humbled feet grounded by the gardens leaves,
just to sing a mumbled tune.
Ah- if that mother’s son could only breathe
For I never saw a mother feed the dead,
with such a discerning eye.
Beauty to sing loudly in the shower
Beauty, more than pretty lips and satin sheets
Beauty,the bell of gratitude
Beauty is old age
Beauty to risk it all
Beauty, the will to help someone
Beauty, the strength of an eagle
Beauty, the courage to live
Beauty is forgiveness without revenge
Beauty, tiny steps of boldness
“Think of all the beauty left around you and be happy”-Anne Frank
As suggested by my good friend please check her out themissiontomars “Love in ten” was so inspiring we couldn’t stop the creative juices. Their are so many talented Artists here on WordPress.
After the “viral love” that almost kept us infected all these days, here I am glad to bring another “virus” to throb the hearts once again till the end of March as with the help of my dear friend themissiontomars the challenge is to write ten sentences on “Beauty” and each sentence to have “six words” one of which must be “beauty” and ending it with a favorite quote on “beauty“Also to nominate your friends to participate and spread the “virus“.
So I hope you are up for the fun:
