Notes About The Poem

- The Blue Hole -


                                       Bees fly in drunken joy
                           where cotton candy turns into thoughts
                                     gives us golden moments
                               and guards the soul's jewelry box
                           Listen to the earth's breathing in a conch
                                    in the tears of compassion

                                              Life swings,
                                         from angelic to evil
                                                 Falling ____
                                    down into a huge blue hole,
                             without the slightest glimmer of light
                                           No reconciliation,
                                everything is erased from the soul
                                      One minute before death

This is pretty amazing Anne-Lise. So much to think about in quiet moments when we are aware of nothing around us sinking into profound wisdom. Congratulations on your win!
