Fault Found Without Mention
Lost in reasons I spoke without thinking, sometimes we cannot see
Those waves we want to believe, for darkness all around
Corners of the universe are not known at birth
And the world refuses to give up space
For all your name surrounds
Maybe if we just sighed for one second instead of crying for a new life
What seems to be disabling could remake the bed we made
I thought I was painting a heaven into our world
One that could hold away every hurt
At least make bruises fade
Inside of shells we stand on hills and look up to the heavens above
Wondering if our destiny ripples as each day breaks anew
Yet we love just the same despite the inevitability
That suddenly shouts from every doorway
We afforded to walk through
Lost in reasons I spoke without thinking, sometimes we cannot see
The battles that laugh nervously for a bit of our attention
Corners of the universe are not known at birth
Yet the stars in our eyes can be infinite
In fault found without mention

Love this style of writing. Sometimes we cannot see so many things.
ReplyDeleteReflections is to look back and learn for the future. That's teaching. in this marvelous didactic poem.
ReplyDelete" I thought I was painting a heaven into our world...One that could hold away every hurt...At least make bruises fade "....Yes, we keep making wishes to create a heaven around us but we don't know what awaits us !
ReplyDeleteA remarkable poem dear Neva !!!
Quite lovely in every way Neva...bkm
ReplyDeleteNeva, this was another marvelously written poem. The words were beautiful, but how you designed them...a true feast for the eyes and mind on many levels. Thank you for being sure to share this with me on SU so I didn't miss it!
ReplyDeleteSweet Neva,
ReplyDeleteYour poetry continues to mesmerize with wonderful insights. How often I have spoken without thinking. Then, upon reflection, wish that I could take back what was said. Instead, you point the way to learn from and heal the bruises with a sigh in place of crying...determined to make our bed anew.
Beautiful writing.
Great advice!
ReplyDeleteNeva I adore this....beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful
ReplyDeleteevery bit of sight need not be partially blocked off...some times it takes just a slight movement or an extra step and all comes clearly into focus from horizon to horizon.
ReplyDeleteBewitching poetry!
