Success

in pursuit of the Magnum Opus

as I am a child of the Universe,

I choose

to converse with angels.

 

Someday

I will learn

the powers that define

true grace.

 

I will be

my own Greatest Work

when I surrender.

I was moved by your poem and few I've read do that to me. I got choked up: one of the proofs for me that a poem holds a universe of emotion is that it can race my heart, blur my eyes, give a tremble to my lip. And this poem did that for me. And you end it with the word "surrender," which is the door through which you finally enter to learn all the answers that once clouded your mind.

You are truly a work of art, and your words show that so clearly; your heart and soul. Thanks, Emily!

This is beautiful write Emily. The way we lived our life here on earth would be the greatest gift we could offer to our Maker.

"omg! ...
perfect example of the magical and sough after "less is more"
seeing it in well chosen words to match a feather-like soul ... priceless!
congrats for yet another gem

[Emily B]

[Icarus]

How absolutely beautiful and how true. I've never read anything more true! I love the surrender and acceptance in this. My guess is that your are closer than you think. It takes great awareness to even write this. This wonderful write does more than entertain the mind, it reaches for the spirit and sparks recognition.

You already are dear lady of the universe.

some days i am the gray mist that hangs on the trees

[Ken Simm.]

Which is just as beautiful, isn't it? You see that on what the Irish call a soft day.

[Emily B]

ohhhh, a soft day, it wants to be a poem :)

[Ken Simm.]

There you go. Off you go then.

[Emily B]

later, maybe, back to work for a bit, rein my thoughts in and look efficient and clerical.

[Kiari Sabon]

short and beautiful

what a noble ambition, to be your own greatest work. we should all aim for that goal.

Your gentle quiet way of saying the most profound things always amazes me..You already exude Grace in all you pen.

[Emily B]
