Glistening Against the

 Backdrop of the Eternal

KWP,
"Glistening Backdrop" Our lives are probably much more than we can begin to even comprehend. This poem expresses the movement, striving, hoping and even chaos withing our days. "our lives shine." We influence one another by our give and take, the shining of our love in so many ways like a light- "Iridescent." We try, struggle and push our way along; "like undulating waves." We desire peace, solitude and look for meaning and affirmation like the reality of "Glistening against the backdrop of the eternal." I found your theme inspiring and very identifiable with the commonality of what people share. I actually read this three times.It is meaningful. ....................Bless you.......Kathy

Hey Kathy :D

Ahhh your words are an inspiration unto themselves. You have translated this poem terrifically and I am so happy that you gained as much insight as you did from it.

This is actually a fave poem of mine which I have not read in a while - so thank you for bringing me back here to read it again - LOVE X

I like the cuteness of "this is a fave poem of mine..." It's neat to just enjoy being and enjoying what we do in the day to day and just be thankful. I wish you every coolness and hugs in your life...Kathy

i started the Dr. Oz 7 day juice fast on Sunday .. i cheated both days but today i will give it another go ... yesterday i ate a tuna sandwich and two pieces of pizza .. not terrible .. i think i will still benefit from all the fruit and veggies in the drinks ()they are not very tasty at all)

ps glad you liked the link .. pretty incredible world isn't it :))

i have done a few detox's in my time ... sure they are tough ... my most intense detox was the Lemon Detox ... it was hard and I stayed on it for 10 days ... by the fifth people said I was glowing ... my skin was clear, my eyes bright and I was bouncing and jumping all over the place ... the problem for m with detox's is the coming back to normal foods ... you are supposed to take it real slow like restarting with soup or some such foods ... by the end of day ten you are just hanging for some good solid flavor so all my good work usually goes right out the window ... oooops

pretty incredible word indeed - i think the same thought when I watch each sunset and sunrise .. XXXXX

i think the unintended benefit is in the fasting .. tho i am cheating (just a little) today i can feel the image of "strong" i have of myself drifting away ... love ya KW!

Remove the uppercase and the visuals take on a more eternal -and ephemeral - feeling.

Nice words.

[KWP]

Oh you know I like it when you tell me what to do ...,

Short, yet full of images. Well done. This would look good stenciled on a wall of a room overlooking a beach.

[KWP]

cheers Noel - thats a nice thought xx :)

[Maglia Weaver Twill]

I agree, I get the image of underwater, the ocean, or the sea
