Poetic Ponderings

After publishing my second poem, Betrayal, a good friend emailed me to see if she could help!  I hastened to explain that my poetry is a cathartic release of universal emotions and feelings.

In my first series, An Alphabet of Affirmations, I developed a positive mantra for healing, from Awe to Zeal, and as I build this collection of poems, I plan to explore those sorrowful and challenging feelings we experience along life's journey.

​My goal in this second series is to promote hope, peace and encouragement in all who read. Thank you for taking the time to visit and share.

Marcoujor:  Fragility

fragility

Tears pouring down face
Heart weary from all the hurt
Words hard to come by

When glass is broken
Pieces never to be whole
Sudden as life ends

Tomorrow will come
Strength gathered from memories
Carry on with strength

Picture
"And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and  irregularly.  Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration.  Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. 
They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they  existed." 
(Maya Angelou)

My dear, Mar, now, just after I attended the sadest funeral of a very dear and special friend, this poem touches my very soul. Thanks!

Every single one of us are fragile. The rigors of life here don't always bless us, many of us are cursed. We wonder why, we ask very deep questions and often find no answers, fragile as we are, living can restore life back into our hearts and souls, many of us reflect on memories that strengthen us again. We must persevere by showing kindness and love to our fellow man/woman and child.

Ah, my friend and fellow legacy Scribe. Your comments mean so much as poetry is your gift. I hope you have heard Alastar (Dane's) interview, which Gail recently linked on the LAS website.

Hope all is well in your world, Vincent. Hugs, Maria

I do not like pain but I know the importance of it. One foot in front of the other and always move forward, learning as we go.

Beautiful my dear.

My dearest Maria, this is such a comforting poem, especially after we have buried a very special person today. Memories of him will certainly strengthen us; he was a valuable friend, an asset in the lives of many. Like you, Mar. Even only online YOU, your support, advice and friendship are an asset in the lives of many. I am so blessed to have you as my most special online sista. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful, comforting poem.

Your poetry screams of sadness and then heralds strength. It is so universal but feels so personal.

We are all fragile, yet resilient. We gain strength from that resiliency and bounce back, hopefully stronger than before we became broken.

Dear Maria,
What a beautiful description of moving forward after you feel you life is shattered. Understanding, resilience and caring for others becomes of supreme importance for our future. All this is encapsulated in your beautiful words, written by a beautiful person. Your music is perfect too. Thank you for this, my very dear friend.

Dear Maria,
Glad you explained this powerful poem is a cathartic release of universal emotions and feelings or I'd be sending you a private email.
From the comments, it looks like you have, indeed, touched upon some universal chords that readers, including myself, can relate to.
Hugs & Love,
Gail

I know you to be a very strong woman but yet with a tenderness inside and that is why you are so loved and respected by all of your peers and colleagues and friends. Your words here are poetically sincere and they reveal much of the author.
I tend to hide behind my words and even though I often use first person pronoun I am still very much a storyteller. I love your honesty here and your honesty with me , Maria, the best 'sister' that anyone of us will ever have online because you are a warm, kind and supportive person and friend. Thank you for coming into my life and making 'me' a better person and making me also think that I can do it - you are a cheerleader for the human race and we are all lucky to have you 'cheering' for us as well.

Dearest Colin,
This may be one of the very sweetest comments I have received to date.
I am so very proud of you in every way. I believe in you and honestly believe this is the year that beautiful things will begin to take shape for you...and yes, I will be cheering for you the whole way.
Have a peaceful and lovely weekend with your fur babies. Hugs, mar

Losing special people in our lives always hurts but life has a way of progressing day by day despite our pain. Our memories keep those people always close to us...just in a different way. We now have to hug them in our dreams! Your poetry encapsulated many of our feelings in a few choice words. Hugs, Peggy
