Kneeling Down in Time

Knelt down in time, who can say, that life is not forever glowing 

Without doing a full circle inside spaces in their mind

When circumstances do question the proudest man’s sight

On amazing nights, when the full moon is his to find

Can the bottom of your heart get tangled up in winds that stay

Then step inward to wonder why the sky’s not blue

As those thoughts and desires from that one minute past

Softly trickle drop by drop and hold on tight to you

Is this the way it’s always been, just how the deep sea roars

When unexpected words leave nothing but replies

That softly caresses everything you cannot  look upon

Even though you hear it whisper in another’s eyes

Are they never to be thought of, or even touched by our hearts

Without doing full circles inside spaces in our minds

When circumstances question the proudest man’s sight

Will he come untangled, kneeling down in time

Neva,
I always love the way you tie things up so neatly and precise...you have such an art of doing that...repeating just enough to remind us where we've been in your heart and your mind...it's refreshing and beautifully done....all the time...
Another great write....

Lush and layered. You are an amazingly thoughtful writer.

Neva... I LOVED the way I did a double take on this piece.It forced me to have to reread again, because I felt like in trying to analyze it, I may have lost the deeper meaning inside it.The proudest of men see their pride as strength, we know it to be their greatest weakness. I first familiarized myself with you by perusing your comments to others. I was struck by the beauty of your perception. I am even more dazzled, now.

Had to come back to this after WC took forever in loosing my review earlier. This is perfect. Again. The imagry and flow, the feel of the words as you read out loud, The beautiful feeling of it. And the newness.
Perfect.

This is such an intriguing and provocative poem...I find it so weaved in wisdom and man is so tangled right now...full of imagery
