Words and Poetry

One must feel a word
if to know. Taste its
flavor while caressing
the contour of each
winding curve -- we
hear with our hearts
as well as our ears;
sniff with our breathful
blood pulsed through 
veins -- 

we are sentient beings,

spirit our balance and
saving grace....

Yes! Emily Dickinson said much in her short poem on words, including the enigma: "A word is dead when it is said, some say." Written, thought, Living and SPOKEN word? is the Big Question. (Shalom, shalom: the Bible speaks of the last in First Book/chapter, and Of LIVING WORD in last chapter, The Revelation of Jesus Chrost kata a' Johanan)

I believe she was saying, the joy is in the creation, in the birthing (which is also painful) -- then it is gone from her life; she, seeming always wanting to create from scratch, not rehash the old (selfcentered in a way...perhaps fearful of deep intimacy out of her control)...obviously, she was not a mother.

Thank you, Tom. So true! I try, but often fall to the negative. And it serves no good. Can't put out a fire by dousing it with gasoline. Blessings my friend.
