Frances Schiavina Poet Verse

Wings of Wonder

Does a seed see the sprout
as it changes underground
or a creeping caterpillar 
know it will fly above the cloud?
Pregnant clouds mist the sprout
cracking earth into a smile
feeding bees and butterflies
as it blooms and when it ripens
dropping seeds again to sprout
in perennial circle cycle.
Fear keeps love bud in hide
both from tears and sunny smiles
clipping wings of wonder's flight
with foreboding crafty lies.
Love’s riches grow unwatched
from unlocked heart depart
coming in and going out
bruised to tears 
or touched to smiles
from the cave of love unlocked
life’s river flows uncharted

Hannah Borke August 15, 2017 at 10:09 AM Wow! I was comparing contest-happiness poems, and yours is perfect; which drew me in to see the rest of your talent. Usually, I bother only with simple poems that I can enjoy without decipher. Although your intelligence is over my head, your poems are worth my study. I'll be back for more. (I can't do too much at once, or I'll feel like I'm back in school.)
