Misconception Passes Forgotten - March 20, 2012


Misconception Passes Forgotten

Some days you hold a bed of roses as only a state of mind
Promises seem to be forgotten in drifting pieces
Wondering how absence thinks of ways to make fonder
A heart that watches time burning bridges  
With faith that never ceases

So often an eager crowd serves a master of lonely places
You can hear them whispering words of praise
They are swirling in a powerful roundabout of illusion
Spent in rooms where the only way out
Cannot be paraphrased

Some have chosen their scars as seed to plant in rows
Then wonder why their fields are full of pain
Aside from sorrow can you imagine what could dwell
As rows of beautiful flowers in the heart
Where love remains

We hear I am sorry in a moment that passes forgotten
On days when a bed of roses does not exist
Should we choose to serve a master of lonely places
Or plant seeds of forgiveness in our fields
From unclenched fists

  3. Oh my! I agree with Mike Perry who wrote "Lovely as ever." Neva, I don't know where your inspiration comes from, or the syntax you use, but you are wonderfully gifted. Thank you for letting us drink from the fountain of your poetic brillance.

    1. Thank you Emmett, I suppose I would have to say I follow nothing. I just write. :)

  4. This is both beautiful and filled with strength. I particularly enjoyed or appreciated rather the thought that some sow their pain in rows and then wonder why they have a great field full of it. This is a law of life and spiritual truth though isn't it, that we reap what we sew. A wonderful and skillfully executed piece.

  5. So what are you saying ... just kidding, reacting to the bricks that just bombarded my head. Great write, excellent point, where love remains. A romantic, eh?
