My Heart - Down Upon its Knees

I ask myself if there is a better place
where I can laugh
in the sweetest whisper
and find myself playing tug of war
with distant memories
until they become
a single story.

Under a quiet night I look up
to count my courage
on each flower
of an apple tree
until morning
looks in on me.
Somehow, I am always left
with my heart
down upon its knees.

I sense that everything dances
within my feelings
warming my thoughts
and just one word
can fill my spirit with you.
Holding on to your hands
knowing a fire still roars
as a friend of truth.

Laughing inside, I forget about
how rain streamed
like a million rivers
upon all the grasses that used to be.
Pleasure floods through me
like moonlight admires
its own face over the sea.

I ask myself if there is a better place
where I can laugh
in the sweetest whisper,
perhaps change
what I understand to be.
Once again, I find myself
staring at my heart,
down upon its knees.

This is good: generally we like to face life standing proud on our feet; when we come to our knees in humility, we face the Truth as the Truth reveals itself to us. I agree with Muse's review--your writing gets more and more beautiful, more profound, with every poem, every story. It's like there's a bottomless well of creativity and flow within you that runs from your soul to your pen. I would honestly love to get your autograph and frame it!
You're an incredible writer, ma'am! :)

It amazes me...how often you can write with what feels like a renewed joy of inspiration. Do you ever get writer's block??? If yes...you hide it pretty dang well...cranking out masterpieces week after week...I'm jealous!

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

The wording of your poetry is always a pleasure to read! This was so touching in imagery and feeling!

So am I. My heart has a place it wants to go, I just don't know if the acceptance will be there. Great poem!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Nice job, Neva.

This didnt touch me as others of yours Neva, not sure what it is , maybe it is a sense of melancholy underlying this? mm not sure let me ponder, maybe its just me?
