Through the shallows, Through the depths, The muck and the mire, With trembling limbs I succor the dying, Strip the layers naked... A conceit of consciousness In psychic awareness, I repute the repudiated Caught in a self made web Of hubris, malevolent envy. Wrath projected...as a Boomerang, must return. Ashes back to ashes is The only transformation Derived in sustained purgatory. © Connie Marcum Wong

Hi Connie, this is a very deep, well thought out piece of poetry. There is so much excellent content in this piece Connie. This is one of those special writes when no worfd i write can actually express how brilliant it is. This being the case Connie, i say this is an excellent write, it is going into my faves and it is definitely a seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

Does it always come down to Karma? Calling on Jesus might only stir the ashes. Deep stuff, Connie. Love, DAve

'Sustained purgatory' and conceit of consciousness', I like that. Also 'reputing the repudiated. Senselessness made sense through reflection. Just enough sense start some transformation. Well written.

Oh so profoundly expressive are your words, Connie! What is going on around us is truly senseless, but there is divine justice which eventually will prevail. #7+ Regards // paul

I admire the thought you put into this piece. Lots of innocent people dying from the selfish hands of those seeking harm for what is shameless and unjustified. Adding this to my favorite list. Jesse
