Poem Title:
Poem
Behold my countenance*: indeed a transparent canvas ready to project heart’s kaleidoscopic iridescence… Hence, with blessed decades of life exposure it is not reluctant to expose soul’s woes never concealing irksome warts along struggles to remain calm and dignified but verily impossible; moreover, those peering wrinkles with assertive frowning marks expose human nature’s response to frustration-caused despair and distress attacks; then the blemishes lurk behind weariness angst as well as misery turmoil. This visage, however… is dominated with laugh lines highlighting girlish grin and now, womanhood chuckles evidencing spirited mirth of laugh-out-loud exuberance. Best of all, is this facial distinction- (aside from dimples catching attention) remarkably an asset, testified by onlookers: the contagious radiance of faith’s bliss overpowering forlorn disposition vanquishing enigmatic smile while defying hypocrisy’s conceit after confessing vexation-show. Lingering --- even midst coffin viewing and toward eternity… …my face, I pray, will exude perpetual earnest gratitude-glow of beauteous serenity as valuable masterpiece constantly restored and unceasingly revived by the great Painter of my existence: God Almighty! Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. December 19, 2019 1st place, "STRAND SELECT 6, any form, any theme" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 1/8/2020.
