Dominion

Point of reference never came. I waited eons just to see The clever end of destiny. To me it always looks the same... Though gender changes time to time, Salacious souls we re-define. The numbers tell what's in the name. Let intuition's second sight Guide the lost toward heaven's light. Are we the fools and life's a game? We seem to dwell on other's flaws A tune well played by karmic laws. We endure life's eternal flame. To live and learn can be sublime; Our birth and death are both divine. Point of reference never came. To me it always looks the same... The numbers tell what's in the name. Are we the fools and life's a game? We endure life's eternal flame. 1-3-2010 (Constanza form)

So your creative poetry form has been in existence nearly 8 years, Connie! And you certainly launched it with a powerful and expressive poem. Pity Soup has not as yet acknowledged it! ~ Warm regards // paul

Actually I created the Constanza form in 2007 Paul. I appreciate your support. Thank you my friend. : )

This is wonderful and sooo 'you' Connie, with the spiritual offerings to have one be still and absorb the full meaning of your profound words. There is a bit of an edgy feel to this, the language sharp with intent. The last line is remarkable. We do 'endure', the cost to our souls sometimes immeasurable, though I believe 'karma' is a beautiful thing. I love losing myself in your poetry and resurfacing feeling 'Wow...what a great experience':) thank youxxx

Congrats on this selection, Connie. I believe your last line has it. For me it's all about life and life in all its forms and in all its houses. I tend to leave God-singular out of it. Love, daver
