John Rhinem Poet I do not know?

House of Marble

House of Marble

Porcelain glass

Glance toward the mirror

At life, as it pass

Visions appear

Though shadows they'll fade

All, most all

Share a masquerade

Rivers of turquoise

Mountains of gold

Towering rainbows

What do they hold?

What was? What is? 

What may someday be? 

In these, could you find

Your destiny?

House of Marble

Crystalline glass

Glance toward the window

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At life, see it pass!?

C.C Bloomsfield August 2, 2010 at 11:37 PM I can never know what is written on my palms,but I know that God loved me and He knew my name from before I was born,so I trust my life in his hands,I live day by day and watch the shadows which sadden the heart fade,they fade,everytime I watch a rainbow,the gold höneyed sun reflecting warmth on an icy mountain,I watch the sea,the trees,hear the birds,then i read my friends,and through crystalline glass,i see beauty!great title and poem,tmfvs JOHN-C.C

Lynette Chachere July 31, 2010 at 11:21 PM through a marble, you'll find your true destiny. sounds spiritual to me, in many ways. if that was your idea, John.then it was a great one, and much wonder within it. ~Always&Forever Lynette

De R July 24, 2010 at 5:28 AM I don't really believe in destiny..I think that everyone makes their own destiny through the decisions they make. You'll never find all the answers you seek in this life and I guess it's better that way. Kisses, Emily
