Human Being

Incest, God

No one told her,

you are an image-

an image of God;

 

sacred

revered

of exalted character

 

She didn't even know

that her sacred was stolen

as a pre-pubescent girl.

 

Eyes that twinkled like the stars

on a clear night,

were suddenly overcast.

 

And a human being

slowly transformed

into a

human doing.

 

Her only mantra

Why?

Beautiful poem about an ugly past. What a journey of healing you have endured and now you help others to have the courgage to experience the same through your words.

[Legacy]

Good evening,

As my world is covered in white, it serves as a reminder of a pure and sacred child - one that was stripped of their innocence and purity, one that was never embraced of such sacred things in which every child should and I am reminded of a time in which I, myself, was that child. I sit and read these words written by one so beautiful in soul and nature. Covered in tears and frozen by atmospheric conditions, I find one question in particular taking precedence over the others� WHY?

Your words � beauty; simply stated� a prowess in this regard. You have taken such a horrid, nauseating, vulgar crime and like the seasons changed it somehow into a positive beautifully flowing artistic creation � of heart and feeling� despite the anger you feel. I admire your ability to separate the water colored tears and create a skillfully painted masterpiece.

I needed to be directed back to that place in time, where as I will not incidentally take advantage of my current life status. I am blessed to read your words � I hope one day we can talk more personally.

Thank you for having the courage to share your words and strength,

Legacy

I think that overcast is the most evident product of the destruction of a beautiful starry night that was meant to lead into another beautiful day. I liked it :-) although at the same time my face was more of a :-( as the previous reviewer expressed.

:( Great piece though. Cast in the image of God we are, but the devil has his dues as well.
